経歴詐称 Falsification of Work History

 　アメリカのホワイトハウスのザカリア報道官が経歴詐称で五日間で報道官を退任したそうです。司法試験に合格していないのに、弁護士の資格を持っていると広言していた彼女、しかし嘘がばれて降任しました。

　日本でも、経歴詐称でのしあがっている女性政治家がいます。しかし日本では、経歴詐称を指摘されても、強引にそれを無視、否定して、のしあがったポストにしがみついています。

 　日本では、首相などにまつわる汚いカネやSNS発信に関する問題も指摘されていますが、当事者がシラを切り続けると、いつのまにか消えてしまいますから、その点で日本は、強引を貫き通すことが最上の生き方のようになっています。 

　日本の選挙民は、そうした強引さを賞賛する傾向があり、そういう人を頼もしいと思っているのかもしれません。 

 

It appears that White House Press Secretary Zakaria resigned from her position after just five days due to falsifying her resume. She had publicly claimed to hold a law license even though she had not passed the bar exam, but her lies were exposed, and she was removed from her post.

　In Japan, too, there are female politicians who have risen to power by falsifying their resumes. However, in Japan, even when accused of falsifying their resumes, they stubbornly ignore or deny the allegations and cling to the positions they’ve climbed to.

　In Japan, issues involving dirty money and social media posts related to the prime minister and others have also been pointed out, but since these matters tend to fade away before anyone notices if the parties involved continue to play dumb, it seems that, in this regard, persisting with a high-handed approach has become the best way to survive in Japan.

　Japanese voters tend to admire this kind of high-handedness and may even view such people as reliable.
