[Hyogo Prefectural Governor accused of power harassment] Denies remark “I’m the governor” and indicates he believes providing a private room is natural．
※2024/8/31 08:00 Sankei Shimbun 《On the 30th, the Prefectural Assembly Investigative Special Committee (100-Article Committee), which is investigating the power harassment allegations against Governor Saito Motohiko of Hyogo Prefecture, asked questions from the Communist Party and independent members, following the fourth-largest group, the Hyogo Prefectural Citizens’ Alliance.》 《The Communist Party committee member asked questions about the allegations that Saito made in a coffee shop after closing time, using his authority as governor to make a complaint, saying, “I’m the governor.” “As the governor, he should not cause trouble,” he pointed out.
Committee member: “At the Prefectural Civic Center coffee shop, when they asked him to leave because it was past closing time, he said, ’I’m the governor, so why should I have to leave?’” Saito: “I didn’t say that. The staff member told me in a loud voice to hurry up and leave, so I was surprised and said, ’I’m the Governor of Hyogo Prefecture.’” Continued below.
>>1 I told you lol > Committee member: “When I was in the cafeteria at the Prefectural Civic Center and they told me to leave because it was past closing time, I said, ’Why should I have to leave when I’m the governor?’” Saito: “I didn’t say that. A member of staff loudly told me to quickly leave, so I was surprised and introduced myself as the governor of Hyogo Prefecture.”
Reminds me of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. As soon as they get a position, they become arrogant towards those below them and try to please those above them. It is indeed position that changes a person.
I’d like to ask people who are knowledgeable about harassment, if you respond to harassment with stronger harassment, will the latter be made worse? However, if you respond to violence with stronger violence, it will become excessive defense and the latter will be made worse.
Saito: “I didn’t say that. The staff member told me in a loud voice to hurry up and leave, so I was surprised and said, ’I’m the Governor of Hyogo Prefecture.’” That’s not really an answer lol. I must have done something to make them shout.
The 100-Article Committee meeting on the 30th was meaningful in its own way. The committee members were more of a lecture than a question, to be honest. If we break it down into categories, There is no such fact → Perjury I don’t remember → Not innocent It was within the appropriate range → That’s not for the governor to decide So, it doesn’t give the governor an advantage. The 100-Article Committee will bring back the staff testimony and the governor’s testimony and consult with experts. If the experts get one out, the governor’s position will be in jeopardy. Also, the main issue of possible criminal cases such as the whistleblowing and the Hanshin Olympic Parade secret funds is yet to come. The reason they are putting it on the back burner is that they would like new evidence and testimony in the meantime. Frankly, if a weekly magazine exposes it, it will be to their advantage.
He wouldn’t have suddenly come forward to say he was governor unless he knew that the power of the position was omnipotent and that he could get what he wanted if he said he was governor.
>>29 “I am Mitsukuni from Mito!” “There is no way that our Lord should be in a place like this! This guy is a scoundrel who speaks in our Lord’s name! Whatever, I don’t care, cut it, cut it!”
“I didn’t say that!” “I’ll show you the video.” “I don’t remember that!” It would be interesting if this turned out to be the case, but I wonder if there are no security cameras.
