The Government of Japan, led by Fumio Kishida, is seriously questioned by citizens. Only 24% of Japanese people approve of its management, according to a survey.
Trust with the Government, in the hands of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (PLD), has been deteriorating for more than a year. The focus was placed on the party's links with a sect with Christian roots, whose abusive practices were revealed after the assassination in 2022 of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. An internal investigation of the PLD has confirmed that almost half of its current deputies have had some type of interaction with the church.
