国葬の是非について
国葬についての反対意見が出ている。安倍氏が銃撃された当初は、哀悼の思いが強く、総理在任期間が長かったこと、そして安倍外交が評価されたこともあって、国全体で賛成していたと思う。
しかしながら、統一教会の異常な献金問題と、この組織との関与が安陪氏本人と深いだけでなく、自民党とも深い繋がりがあることが明らかになって、国葬には値しないとする気持ちが多くなってきたようだ。
岸田総理は、国民に哀悼の気持ちを強要しないなどと言っているが、それは当然である。当然どころか、国民の多くが哀悼の気持ちを持てない状態で、国葬を行うという神経がどうかしているのではないか?
諸外国に国葬の案内を出してしまって、今更変更は出来ないという意見もあるようだが、国葬という重用事であれば尚更、事情が変わったので中止するという考えもあって然るべきではないか?
国葬を強行すれば、政界での人気は上がっても、国民の支持率は下がるだろう。
Right and Wrong of State Funerals
There are objections to the state funeral. When Mr. Abe was shot, there was a strong sense of mourning, and because of his long tenure as prime minister, and because Abe's diplomacy was highly evaluated, I think the entire nation agreed.
However, it has become clear that the Unification Church's abnormal donation problem and its involvement with this organization are not only deep with Mr. Abe himself, but also with the Liberal Democratic Party, and many feel that it is not worthy of a state funeral. It seems that it has become.
Prime Minister Kishida has said that he will not force the public to express condolences, but that is only natural. Rather than of naturally, isn't there something wrong with the nerve to hold a state funeral in a state where most of the people can't mourn?
There seems to be an opinion that we can't change it now that we have issued a guide to the state funeral to foreign countries, but if it is an important matter like a state funeral, there should be an idea to cancel it because the circumstances have changed.
If he goes ahead with the state funeral, his popularity in the political world will rise, but his public support will drop.
