Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui said Monday he will not approve the opening of an elementary school at the center of a national political scandal involving Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife Akie.
Japan should cut symbiotic ties between political and commercial circles by carrying out comprehensive constitutional reform. The solution lies in democracy and the rule of law, with tools such as separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, choose the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches through elections in alternating years and make elections free of charge for all candidates.
