It will be one month since former Prime Minister Abe passed away on the 8th.
The aftermath of the incident continues, with public opinion divided on whether the government will hold a state funeral next month, and the relationship between the former Unification Church and politicians has been revealed one after another.
It has been eight days and one month since former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe died after being shot while giving a speech in Nara.
Former Prime Minister Abe's "state funeral" is scheduled to be held at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on the 27th of next month, and at the end of last month, the government will set up a secretariat meeting of relevant ministries and agencies to coordinate attendees, including foreign dignitaries. Preparations are in full swing, including building a security system.
Various public opinion polls show that there are pros and cons to holding a state funeral, and opposition parties have criticized that the government has not fulfilled its accountability regarding the significance and legal basis of the implementation.
At a recent press conference, Prime Minister Kishida emphasized, "Given the fact that countries around the world are showing respect and condolences to former Prime Minister Abe, it is appropriate to hold his funeral as an official national event."
The government intends to expand understanding by carefully explaining the reasons for the implementation of such measures, such as during the interim deliberations of the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives regarding the state funeral.
On the other hand, the Liberal Democratic Party's Abe faction has a policy of managing the party with executives consulting without appointing a successor chairman for the time being even after Mr. Abe's death.
In addition, in the wake of the shooting incident, politicians received election support from the former Unification Church and attended events of related organizations, and the aftermath of the incident continues. .
