In order to send away former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was suddenly shot and killed, the Kishida Fumio government plans to spend more than a billion yen to hold a grand state funeral for Abe, and plans to invite 6,400 people to attend the state funeral, including MANY IMPORTANT FIGURES IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS SUCH AS US PRESIDENT Joe Biden and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. However, the Japanese media recently found that the Kishida Fumio government spent a huge amount of money to bury Abe Shinzo, and as a result, few people came to participate in a circle.
Comprehensive information shows that in order to commemorate the rich political legacy left by Shinzo Abe and respond to the desire of various countries to participate in Abe's funeral, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida plans to hold a large-scale state funeral for Abe on September 27 to "mourn diplomacy". According to the cost data released by Kishida Fumio a few days ago, the approximate cost of the Japanese side to hold a state funeral for Abe Ishizo is as high as 1.66 billion yen.
In the relevant reports of Japanese media, kishida Fumio's government plans to invite 6,400 people to attend the state funeral, of which the diplomatic group occupies about 1,000 people, including many well-known politicians such as Biden and Merkel. Ironically, although Kishida's government has informed Japan's 195 countries with diplomatic relations and invited politicians from those countries to attend Shinzo Abe's state funeral, few people have been invited to attend.
Japan's Yahoo News and Nikkan Hyundai recently published articles saying that neither Biden nor French President Emmanuel Macron, nor Angela Merkel, who has left office, will attend the funeral of Shinzo Abe. Nikkan Hyundai also pointed out that the deadline for signing up for Abe's funeral has long passed, but few of Japan's countries with diplomatic relations have responded accordingly.
In response to the fact that Biden, Merkel and other international celebrities and dignitaries did not participate in the funeral of Shinzo Abe, the Japanese media were very disappointed, and some people in Japan were also very dissatisfied. Some Japanese people said on social media that if there is no well-known international politician to attend the funeral of Shinzo Abe, it will not only be very humiliating for the Japanese side, but also harmful to national interests.
However, it is useless for the above-mentioned Japanese people to shout humiliation, because Japanese politicians do not want to participate in the Abe Shinzo National Funeral, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese people directly want the Kishida Fumio government to cancel the Abe Shinzo state. According to Japan's Yahoo News, Mizuho Fukushima, the leader of japan's Social Democratic Party, said at a press conference a few days ago that not only would she not attend Abe's state funeral, but she was also very opposed to the state funeral being held.
Taro Yamamoto, the leader of the japanese Reiwa new election group, and Takashi Takai, secretary general, also announced a few days ago that they would not attend the Abe Shinzo national funeral. Yamamoto also deliberately stressed that if the Kishida Fumio government wants to forcibly hold the Abe Shinzo national funeral, it must have a relevant legal basis, otherwise the number of Japanese politicians participating in the state funeral will be pitifully small.
At the same time, a Japanese group recently submitted a petition signed by 280,000 people to the Kishida fumio government, asking Kishida Fumio to cancel the Abe Shinzo state funeral. In addition, there are several similar petitions on the relevant Japanese petition websites, which have only one purpose, that is, to demand that the Kishida Fumio government cancel the holding of Abe Shinzo's state funeral. As of September 1, more than 400,000 petitions had been signed by the site.
Under the relevant report of Japan's Yahoo Shimbun, many Japanese netizens wrote, "The truth is that Kishida Fumio's decision is not in line with the wishes of the people, and he does not understand the responsibility of the prime minister at all." "The holding of Abe's three state funerals has made the Japanese people question Kishida's ability to step down as soon as possible." "Kishida Made a Mistake on the Issue of Abe's State Funeral."
There is still some time before the arrival of September 27, and the answer to whether Abe Shinzo's national funeral will come as promised is not known for the time being, but it is certain that no matter whether this national funeral is successful or not, few internationally renowned politicians will come to support the Kishida Fumio government, Kishida Fumio will not be able to persuade Japanese politicians to participate, and cannot suppress the wave of opposition from the Japanese people.
