On September 21, Nandu reporters learned that the two former Japanese Prime Ministers, Naoto Kan and Yukio Hatoyama, both made it clear recently that they would not attend the state funeral held by the Japanese government for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on September 27. According to previous reports from Nandu, the Japanese government announced that the estimated total cost of holding a state funeral for Shinzo Abe is about 1.66 billion yen, and the high state funeral cost has aroused dissatisfaction among the Japanese people.
It is reported that the Japanese government had previously decided to hold the state funeral of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on September 27 at Japan's Budokan . On September 20, former Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan revealed on his social account, "I received a notice from the government to hold a state funeral for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on September 12. The decision to hold a state funeral has not been fully discussed by the Congress. Based on past cases, I don't think it is appropriate." He made it clear, "I personally will not attend the state funeral."
According to multiple Japanese media reports, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has also stated to the Japanese government that he will not attend the state funeral of Shinzo Abe. He had previously complained on his personal social account, "Most people oppose state funerals. Why do Liberal Democratic Party remain silent? Is this a national parliamentarian?"
According to previous reports from Nandu, the Japanese government announced the estimated total cost of holding state funerals for Shinzo Abe, which is about 1.66 billion yen. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroichi Matsuno said that in addition to the previous announcement of about 250 million yen, the reception and security costs of foreign dignitaries will increase by more than 1.4 billion yen, and the total cost is expected to be about 1.66 billion yen. According to the results of the poll released by Japanese media, more than half of the people objected to this. On the evening of August 31, thousands of people protested in front of the main entrance of the Japanese Congress Hall, opposing the holding of state funeral for Shinzo Abe.
