Question from a reader:
I heard that Ayaka Otsu is being sued over party subsidies. Are the supporters who continue to back her getting paid to spread their opinions?
About Ayaka Otsu and the Party Subsidy Issue
Recently, news surfaced that Ayaka Otsu is being sued over party subsidies. It’s understandable to wonder if her supporters are being paid to promote
her views. However, in my opinion, it’s unlikely that they are receiving direct financial compensation. First, given that a bankruptcy trustee is involved, the financial situation must be quite severe. They are also required to submit financial reports, making it very difficult to manage funds. If we consider the example of Tachibana, when looking at his 350 million yen issue, one might say that Otsu’s situation is somewhat better in comparison.
Comparison with Tachibana
Tachibana raises many suspicions by not submitting his financial records. There are also voices questioning the legitimacy of the promissory notes he uses to raise funds on YouTube. Observing his actions makes one wonder if he is hiding something. The lack of transparency in the flow of money is likely a concern for his supporters as well. Regarding Otsu’s bankruptcy filing, the fact that she is appealing suggests that her situation is prolonged. It must have been very challenging for her to be chosen as party leader without any prior experience in accounting or finance. I’ve also heard that she has faced harassment from Tachibana and his supporters. I hope that people can understand the effort she is putting in despite these challenges.
Personal Feelings and Reflections
Personally, as I contemplate various legal matters, I find these issues quite interesting. It is important for young individuals like Otsu to get involved in politics, but at the same time, the pressure they face is immense. I can understand both the financial difficulties she faces and the feelings of those who support her. Honestly, observing such a complex situation makes me hesitant about whether I should take any action. From a legal expert’s perspective, it is crucial for all information to be transparent. Supporters spreading opinions without financial compensation likely do so out of their beliefs, and it should not be solely motivated by monetary factors. Finally, I would like to ask the readers: How do you feel about such political issues? If you have any interesting stories or memories to share, please let me know in the comments. Sharing our opinions could lead to new discoveries.
