Takaichis Finanzminister Satsuki Katayama wird wegen nicht gemeldeter politischer Spenden und Schwarzgeldfonds angeklagt

Some of the comments on Yahoo News and X are outright abhorrent.

Back during the Kishida premiership, it’s „slush funds shouldn’t have a place in politics! Resign!“

But now it’s „Takaichi is doing the right things for Japan, so a little slush fund wouldn’t matter! It’s all a conspiracy by the old media!“

Barring the possibility that some of them are Russian-paid bots, the double standards by the vocal Japanese right are truly disgusting.

This doesn’t surprise me, but I didn’t expect it from Mama Fratelli in The Goonies.
