A recent Japanese poll showed that more than 70 percent of people oppose the recent use of lawmakers involved in the "black gold" scandal by the ruling Party of Liberal Democrats.

After being elected the new president of the self-government party on the 4th of this month, the highest level of the self-government party was adjusted, among which one of the main stakeholders in the "black gold" scandal, the former "Abbey" backbone, Yoshin Tada Liu, was the chief agent of the director of the party's number two person.

The poll conducted on the topic on the 10th and 13th of the Japan Times news agency, the results of the survey published on the 17th showed that 71.4% of respondents opposed members of the Parliament of the Democratic Party involved in the scandal to serve in the government or within the party.

Jiji News Agency said that the poll results show that the Japanese people still hold a strict attitude towards lawmakers involved in the "black gold" scandal.

In November 2023, the self-government party exposed the "black gold" scandal, in which congressmen received sales indicators issued by some faction giants within the party, asking them to sell political fundraising party tickets. Funds beyond the sales indicators will be returned to lawmakers in the form of "back-back". This portion of funds does not need to be registered, thus becoming unregulated secret funds.

In the "black gold" scandal, the total amount of "black gold" involved was 27.28 million yen (approximately 1.3 million yuan), he himself was therefore punished within the party. The prosecution decided not to prosecute the "black gold" on the basis of "insufficient evidence", but found that his secretary had evidence of destruction and other illegal acts, had filed a lawsuit in August.

According to Japanese media, the Komeito Party clung to the issue of "black gold politics", and Hagiuda Koichi was entrusted with the important task by the Liberal Democratic Party, which was regarded as one of the reasons why the Komeito Party announced its withdrawal from the ruling coalition and parted ways with the Liberal Democratic Party on the 10th of this month.
