[Expression Freedom Exhibition] Intimidation → Exhibition Cancellation → Subsidy non-delivery (power intervention) “Evil precedent” Constitutional scholars are also concerned

Regarding the Aichi Triennale being held, the Agency for Cultural Affairs has decided not to grant all subsidies. The focus of attention from the Secretary of the Secretary of Secretary, Mr. Yiwei, was the way of public money and art. As a general rule, public power should not intervene in the content. The Agency for Cultural Affairs emphasizes “procedural reasons”, but the reason for “unusual” is questionable. As for the way of granting subsidies to the Triennale, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshiyoshi Tsuji stated in August that he would like to respond appropriately after confirming and examining the facts.
