Considering that Niigata's anti-nuclear governor was made to resign over a magazine article that said he had consentual sex with women, I'd say this is a very fair request. AND on top of that..

In addition to the harassment allegations themselves, the way the ministry has handled them has also come under scrutiny.

It asked reporters who feel they were sexually harassed by Fukuda to come forward and contact a law firm of its choice to investigate their complaints, arguing that it cannot determine whether certain behavior constituted harassment without testimony from the victims.

How disgusting is that?

Abe, who is visiting the United States, called the circumstances of Fukuda's resignation "truly regrettable," and said the government will work to regain the public's trust.

will work to regain the public's trust??

Abe and Aso will have to die of Karoshi for that to happen.

There are reasons he should resign, but this isn’t one of them.

Dopey opposition.

It changed Abe's approval ratings.
