[New members of Japan’s cabinet have been sentenced for crimes, causing public dissatisfaction] On September 19, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reorganized the cabinet on the 17th, and Hiroshi Nakaji, a member of the Liberal Democratic Party’s ruling partner Japan Reform Party, entered the cabinet for the first time. Nakaji Hong was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison, suspended for 3 years, for illegal bidding activities. As a result, he became the first Japanese cabinet minister in 29 years to have a criminal record before joining the cabinet. It is reported that Nakaji Hiroshi has regained his right to stand for election after the expiration of his probation period, and there is no legal obstacle to joining the cabinet. However, this personnel arrangement still caused controversy in public opinion. Many Japanese people expressed dissatisfaction with this and called on Nakaji Hiroshi to resign as a cabinet minister as soon as possible. The media believes that the Japanese cabinet’s recruitment of members with criminal histories will intensify people’s distrust of the government. (CCTV News)
