Agriculture minister Kazuo Yana, who was appointed to the post last month, is now the center of a controversy following reports he drastically cut the road budgets of municipalities in Tochigi Prefecture whose mayors did not support him in February’s Lower House election.
上周三曝光的5月份录音显示，柳一雄在当地的自由民主党支部会议上称，上述预算削减措施正是对那些未支持他的市长们的回应。周二下午，日本国土交通省证实：中川町与那须乌山町的年度道路预算较2025财年减少了约一半。
According to an audio recording from May revealed last Wednesday, Yana told a May meeting of his local Liberal Democratic Party branch office that the reductions were made after the mayors of Nakagawa and Nasukarasuyama failed to support him in the February election. It was confirmed Tuesday afternoon by the transport ministry that their road budgets were cut to about half compared with the fiscal year 2025.
