The city has put together a report that it is power harassment, saying that the former chairman of the Sagamihara City Council was intimidating to the city officials.

In response, the former chairman said, "There is no awareness of harassment."

In December last year, there was a complaint that Mr. Masamitsu Ishikawa, who was the chairman of the Sagamihara City Council, was making intimidating words and actions to the staff of multiple cities, and the city has so far 30 people including the former chairman and city staff. We conducted an interview survey from the remainder.



As a result, it was found that the former chairman sent a message such as "Please disappear from the field of view" or "Please move, it is an obstacle" to a specific city employee through the mobile phone app. "I was banned from entering and exiting the chair's office," said several people.



The city concluded that these acts were power harassment and reported to the city council last week.
