Regarding former Prime Minister Abe's "state funeral", the government has started hearing from experts to verify a series of responses.
The plan is to sort out the issues by the end of the year and proceed with consideration, including whether to set rules for holding a "national funeral."
Regarding the ``state funeral'' of former Prime Minister Abe in September, the public opinion was divided due to the ambiguous legal basis, so both the ruling and opposition parties should create standards and rules for implementation. I raised my voice.
In response to this, the government began interviewing experts in various fields such as the constitution and administrative law in order to verify the series of responses. I want to organize and present my opinions and arguments."
Hearings are being conducted individually for about 20 to 30 people, and we will hear opinions on how the Diet should be involved in holding a "national funeral" and the need for legislation.
We plan to publish a report by the end of the year after sorting out the points of contention, and we will proceed with consideration based on discussions in the Diet, including whether to set rules for holding a "state funeral."
