Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe under fire for shredding documents scandal. Abe turned Japan's longest-serving prime minister final week, however his approval rankings are falling on accusations that he used an annual state-funded social gathering over the cherry blossom season to ask lots of of his supporters and cronies. Opposition politicians argue that the visitor record for an annual social gathering held by the prime minister to look at cherry blossoms in Tokyo's Shinjuku Gyoen Nationwide Backyard in April had grown to an unsustainable measurement, with 15,000 individuals invited at a complete price of 55 million yen ($500,000) and with members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Celebration being rewarded with tickets. They alleged that members of organized crime teams have been invited to combine with politicians, diplomats, celebrities and different public figures beneath the blossom-laded bushes. Whenever a scandal surfaces, the bureaucrats' go-to excuse is that all pertinent documents have been "discarded" or "cannot be located." Perhaps this is what they have to say to survive under the Abe administration.
In 2017 on Abe's school scandal, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made Ministry of Finance alter official documents of Moritomo Gakuen.
