"Democracy in Japan Had Completely Collapsed."
It is still fresh in people's memories that on July 8, 2022, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot by a certain man during an election campaign stumping.
The name of the man, Tetsuya Yamagami, was caught red-handed, throwing a crude gun bundled with vinyl tape and offering no resistance.
He was the son of a member of the former Unification Church, a cult renowned worldwide for its vicious doctrines and money collection.
Then, in Japan, the relationship between the former Unification Church and politicians was reported daily in the media.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won the House of Councillors election held immediately after the shooting of Shinzo Abe, but since then, 179 of the 379 incumbent Diet members of the ruling LDP have admitted to having ties with the former Unification Church. (2022.9.8 nhk)
Yamagami said he hated Abe for his appearances in the former Unification Church's publicity campaign. His brother, who suffered from an incurable disease, had already committed suicide over his mother's large donations.
