This article criticizes the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan for pursuing allegations against others while failing to fulfill accountability regarding scandals involving its own lawmakers, focusing on Representative Seiji Osaka’s written question concerning “the crime of sexual harassment.”
Through cases involving Akihiro Hatsushika, Masayuki Aoyama, Katsuya Ogawa, Kiyomi Tsujimoto, Tsunehiko Yoshida, Shiori Yamao, Tetsuro Fukuyama, Yukio Edano, and Naoto Kan, it discusses the CDP’s double standard and the deterioration of opposition politics.

Kiyomi Tsujimoto, who, while pursuing the “Morikake issue,” saw the suspicion surrounding her own Noda Chuo Park issue catch fire.
Tsunehiko Yoshida, who has decided to remain silent over the suspicion of corruption involving the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Seiji Osaka’s Question about “Sexual Harassment Crime.”
Also, in terms of double standards, one cannot avoid mentioning House of Representatives member Seiji Osaka.
As I introduced in “The Asahi Shimbun’s Editorial Goes Beyond Impression Manipulation and Becomes ‘Shameless,’” Seiji Osaka, a House of Representatives member of the Constitutional Democratic Party, submitted a written question on May 8 of this year titled “Written Question Concerning the Crime Called Sexual Harassment Crime.”
In response to this, the government prepared an answer stating that “under existing laws and regulations, no crime called ‘sexual harassment crime’ exists,” and replied to Seiji Osaka, but this too is only natural.
However, despite the Constitutional Democratic Party’s enthusiastic pursuit of “sexual harassment,” it has decided to remain silent about its own sexual harassment scandals.
Akihiro Hatsushika, House of Representatives member, the person himself committed sexual harassment.
Masayuki Aoyama, House of Representatives member, the person himself committed sexual harassment.
Katsuya Ogawa, House of Councillors member, father of a sex criminal.
This is because it has fulfilled no accountability whatsoever regarding these three deeply sinful lawmakers.
Mr. Seiji Osaka.
If you are going to submit a written question, unless you clearly state as examples “House of Representatives member Akihiro Hatsushika,” “House of Representatives member Masayuki Aoyama,” and “the sex criminal son of House of Councillors member Katsuya Ogawa,” the people will not be convinced.
Mr. Kan, the CDP Is Not “Arrogant” but “XX.”
Amid all this, the person I regard as the ultimate double standard is former Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
In our country, no matter who one is, one is free to express any opinion, and on this point, the same applies even to a former prime minister.
And among former prime ministers, I think one of the people who expresses opinions relatively actively is former Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
Former Prime Minister Kan has opened a blog called Naoto Kan Official Blog by Ameba, and he seems to update it quite frequently.
Of course, whatever former Prime Minister Kan says is his freedom.
However, at the same time, it is also our freedom as Japanese citizens to criticize former Prime Minister Kan through speech.
In particular, former Prime Minister Kan is, unfortunately, still a Diet member, and although he is a former officeholder, he is also a person who once held the position of prime minister, the “highest authority in Japan.”
To begin with, fairly wide-ranging criticism, including criticism of character, is permitted toward sitting Diet members.
Among the articles written by such former Prime Minister Kan, the one that made me collapse in disbelief the most was this.
It Is a Misunderstanding That the Constitutional Democratic Party Appears Arrogant.
Naoto Kan Official Blog by Ameba, September 1, 2018.
Yes.
I cannot take responsibility if you go out of your way to read it and are told you wasted your time, so please read it at your own risk.
I would like to respectfully say this to former Prime Minister Kan.
The Constitutional Democratic Party is not “arrogant.”
It is “hopelessly stupid.”
Kiyomi Tsujimoto, who, while pursuing the “Morikake issue,” saw the suspicion surrounding her own Noda Chuo Park issue catch fire.
Tsunehiko Yoshida, who has decided to remain silent over the suspicion of corruption involving the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
The three men Akihiro Hatsushika, Masayuki Aoyama, and Katsuya Ogawa, on whom Representative Seiji Osaka’s “sexual harassment crime” question made a clean hit.
Shiori Yamao, who not only fails to explain the gasoline prepaid-card issue but continues to gloss over her own affair suspicion.
Tetsuro Fukuyama, whose answers become incoherent and whose eyes wander when pursued by reporters.
Yukio Edano, who is suspected of links with the Kakumaru faction.
And Naoto Kan, who is hopelessly stupid.
I would like to know, conversely, how one can gather people this stupid.
No, perhaps they should be called not “human resources,” but “human liabilities.”
Both the Democratic Party for the People and the Constitutional Democratic Party are much the same in the sense of being “garbage parties,” but in the sense of being treasure houses of human resources, no, human “liabilities,” the Constitutional Democratic Party may be more highly concentrated.
