The “per-ticket quota” imposed on LDP Abe faction lawmakers, “just like the Yamaguchigumi”… Shocking inside information leaked by a former cabinet member.

The Seiwa Seisaku Kenkyukai (Abe faction) is the largest faction of the LDP. It is said that a quota for the sale of political fund party tickets was set according to the position and number of times a member was elected, and the excess amount was kicked back, and the amount returned was called so.

The House of Councillors members of the Abe faction have their own rule that the quota is eliminated in election years, but the House of Representatives members have a quota even in election years, and it seems that not a few members were suffering from this.

Regarding the return of a total of over 500 million yen, a mid-level Diet member, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “Only a small number of members received a return.

A mid-career councilor, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “Chairman Shiotani would call me and say, ‘Fatty, please,’ and he would tell me one way or the other. The last three years were relatively easy because the quota was halved in Corona, but every year we couldn’t meet the quota and had to take out all the money. The upper limit is 10 million yen for experienced chairmen like Mr. Abe and Mr. Hosoda, and the lower limit is said to be 600,000 yen for a first-year student.

The reality is that it is not easy for legislators who are close friends of general contractors and the pachinko industry to get by. A former cabinet member who left the Seiwa-kai during his term in office also stated, “I never reached the 5 million yen mark, and all I did was take money out of my pocket.

The amount of money paid to a person who has served as chairman of the Seiwa-kai seems high, at 10 million yen,

However, the amount of money paid to a former chairman may seem high at 10 million yen, but “when you are the leader of a faction, you hold power and people and money come to you. If you become chief cabinet secretary or secretary-general, you can get out of the LDP’s secret funds and money,” he said.

He said. On the other hand, local elected officials have no access to people or money, and their party ticket sales at a Minato Ward hotel in a local city were limited. Several people were heard to say that they had to pay out of their own pockets every year.
