TOKYO - Japan erupted with online anger Wednesday after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who won’t reveal guests at a controversial party due to “respect for privacy,” told Parliament the operator of a shredder that destroyed the guest list was disabled.
Questions have also arisen over why this year’s guest list was shredded the same day opposition lawmakers asked for it. Abe has denied wrongdoing, saying the timing was a coincidence and revealing the names of guests would infringe on their privacy. “Hey, doesn’t this comment reveal personal information? Even though it doesn’t give a name?” wrote user Tonas Reigetsuin.
“There was a need to make sure there was enough time to work easily,” he added, without giving further details.
