This article proves that the people of Miyagi Prefecture living in Miyagi’s 5th District who voted for a political operator like Jun Azumi must be so ashamed that they cannot properly walk outside in public.
The following is from yesterday’s Sankei Shimbun article.
Needless to say, NHK did not report this clear fact at all.
As for the Asahi Shimbun and the like, it is only an inference, but they were probably the same as NHK.
This article proves that the people of Miyagi Prefecture living in Miyagi’s 5th District who voted for a political operator like Jun Azumi must be so ashamed that they cannot properly walk outside in public.
The cost of Mr. Azumi’s breakfast meeting was 1,739 yen per person.
At the same hotel as the prime minister.
A question mark over the claim that “5,000 yen is too cheap.”
It was learned on the 20th from a political funds income and expenditure report that, at a political fundraising party held in 2012 at a hotel in Tokyo by “Junpukai,” the fund-management organization of Jun Azumi, Diet Affairs Committee chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party and a House of Representatives member from Miyagi’s 5th District, the hotel venue fee, which corresponds to the “cost” of the gathering, was 1,739 yen per person who paid consideration.
Regarding the prime minister-sponsored “Cherry Blossom Viewing Party,” the opposition parties have criticized the 5,000-yen per-person fee for the “dinner party” held the previous day at the same hotel by people connected with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s support group as “too cheap.”
However, the reality has emerged that the hotel side responds flexibly regarding venue fees and other matters.
According to the income and expenditure report, Junpukai held breakfast seminars on April 23 and November 19, 2012, with income of 10.62 million yen and 11.76 million yen respectively, and the numbers of people who paid consideration were 531 and 588.
Junpukai paid the hotel 923,326 yen and 1.21 million yen as venue usage fees.
Ordinarily, such fees include the cost of food and drink.
Dividing the usage fees by the number of people gives 1,739 yen and 2,058 yen per person.
Even if the number of attendees was only half of the number of people who paid consideration, the amount would still be less than 5,000 yen per person.
In response to an inquiry from the Sankei Shimbun on the 20th, Mr. Azumi’s office replied, “The breakfast meeting seminars are properly recorded in the income and expenditure report.”
