After multiple female dancers were invited to a social gathering for young Liberal Democratic Party members held in Wakayama City last year, the party's youth bureau apologized, saying the entertainment was ``extremely inappropriate.'' In addition, I made a comment that I would take thorough measures to prevent it from happening again.
It was learned that a female dancer wearing revealing costumes had been invited to a social gathering for the Liberal Democratic Party's Youth Bureau Kinki Block Conference held in Wakayama City last November, and that she attended the meeting last week. Takashi Fujiwara, Director-General of Youth Affairs Bureau, and Yasutaka Nakasone, Deputy Director-General of Youth Affairs Bureau, have resigned.
In response to this, the Liberal Democratic Party's Youth Bureau issued a comment and apologized, saying, ``It is truly regrettable that the entertainment was held with extremely inappropriate content, and we deeply apologize.''
Furthermore, although Mr. Fujiwara and Mr. Nakasone were not informed of the contents of the event in advance, and although they were warned after the event, ``As a result, allowing the entertainment to take place would have eroded the public's trust.''
Furthermore, it was revealed that they received a report from the Wakayama Prefectural Federation that no subsidy from party headquarters was used to pay for the social gathering.
"We deeply regret the occurrence of such a situation and will take thorough measures to prevent it from happening again."
Communist Party Secretary-General Koike: ``I'm stunned and can't say anything. This is unforgivable.''
Communist Party Secretary-General Koike said at a press conference, ``The Youth Bureau is supposed to be the people who will carry the future of the Liberal Democratic Party, but they are stunned and cannot say anything.I think the foundation of the Liberal Democratic Party is really being shaken. "It is unbelievable and unforgivable that in the midst of all the hardships not a single person came forward to quit."
