日本农林水产大臣梁和生因涉嫌"公报私仇"陷入风波。1梁和生在5月的集会演讲中称栃木县那须乌山市和那珂川町"本财年的道路预算被大幅削减",而这两地位于其选区内但未在2月众议院选举中支持其。110月5日,梁和生承认相关言论"极不恰当"但表示不会辞职。1
尽管梁和生拒绝辞职,但其辞职已难以避免。1高市早苗8日表示已予以严厉警告,有意让梁和生留任。1然而,立宪民主党、国民民主党等6个在野党已于10月9日确认将探讨提交问责决议案。1自民党内部也出现压力,有声音认为梁和生辞职已难以避免。1在野党不仅要求其辞职,还追究首相高市早苗的用人责任。1
这一丑闻进一步加剧了舆论对高市内阁的不信任。1自高市上任以来,该内阁已连续爆出多起丑闻,包括3月文部科学大臣松本洋平涉不正当关系、7月自民党福冈县议员团"进贡"丑闻,以及10月爱知县副议长成田修驾车强行闯入亚运会比赛场地等事件。1
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Ryo Yamawaki has become embroiled in a political crisis over allegations of using his ministerial authority for partisan purposes. 1 In a May speech at a campaign rally, Yamawaki stated that the road budgets for Nasu-Oyama City and Nakagawa Town in Tochigi Prefecture—both located within his electoral district—had been "significantly reduced this fiscal year." 1 These two municipalities had failed to support him during the February House of Representatives election. 1 On October 5, Yamawaki acknowledged that his remarks were "extremely inappropriate," yet declared he would not resign from his position. 1 Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi indicated on October 8 that she had issued him a stern warning and intended to retain him in office. 1
Opposition parties have mobilized in response to the controversy. Six opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Democratic Party for the People, confirmed on October 9 that they would explore submitting a censure resolution against Yamawaki. 1 Within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, pressure for his resignation is mounting, with some members viewing his departure as now inevitable. 1 The scandal compounds existing credibility challenges for the Takaichi cabinet, which has been beset by successive controversies since its inception, including Education Minister Yohei Matsumoto's improper conduct allegations in March, a "tribute" scandal involving LDP Fukuoka prefectural assembly members in July, and an October incident in which Aichi prefectural vice-assembly chair Osamu Narita forcibly drove into an Asian Games competition venue. 1
