Abstract

It is said that “fact is stranger than fiction,” and in July 2014, a “crying press conference” by a member of the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly regarding the fraudulent use of "Political Activity Expenses" that was broadcast nationwide, unexpectedly brought to light the existence of a system. This made it widely known to the public. Thereafter, the Pandora's box opened by this prefectural assembly member spread to local assemblies across the country, giving rise to misunderstandings and illusions as if the system itself was the "root of all evil. "Coincidentally, immediately after the "crying press conference," I had the opportunity to play a role in the restoration of the assembly as a member of a "third-party organization" established in a core city in Osaka Prefecture. During this process, I got a glimpse of the sincere efforts of the group and city council member to confront this difficult situation. Based on the basic recognition that "subsidies for political activities" are necessary for both local assembly members and citizens when assuming the ideal form of the assembly, I reflected once again on the main purpose of the system and sought possibilities for restoring trust in the assembly.
