Are you sure you win? … Secretary Suga answers questions with a smile
The special relationship between Prime Minister Abe and Minister Suga is drawing attention, as the “ popular theory ” of Secretary of State Yoshihide Suga is solidified in the choice of the LDP governor to replace Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (安 倍 晋 三 .65).
The orthodoxy of the Japanese government is that the emergence of Suga as a strong candidate for the next prime minister, supported by the main factions of the PLD, reflects the intentions of Prime Minister Abe.
It appears that Prime Minister Abe’s virtually declining Suga’s successor as his successor was due to political camaraderie for 18 years.
◇ Suga “Exchange with Mr. Abe on the occasion of the North Korean problem”
Minister Suga said he became close with Prime Minister Abe after the North Korean kidnapping problem in 2002.
In an interview with the biweekly ‘president’ of Japan (November 18, 2013), when asked: ‘When will the exchange with the prime minister (Abe) begin?’ From the moment the Mangyeongbongho entry ban laws became legislative. “
In 2002, anti-North Korean sentiment spread over the issue of kidnapping in Japan, and it was strongly argued that North Korea’s Lake Mankyungbong, which travels between North Korea and Japan, should be prohibited from entering Japan.
At the time, Prime Minister Abe, who was the Defense Minister at the time, displayed a strong attitude on the kidnapping issue, and Suga, who was the secretary of the Liberal Democratic Party, also strongly insisted on a ban on the Mangyeongbongho entrance to the port at the general party meeting.
Minister Suga said: “Mr. Abe, who heard my comments (at the Party General Assembly), contacted me and said that he wanted to cooperate fully.” I thought that one day I should have such a person as prime minister. “
Political scientist Takeshi Nakajima (中 島 岳志), a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, wrote in his book “The Liberal Democratic Party” (Korean translation “Japan’s Tomorrow”), “(At that time, Suga) agreed with Shinzo Abe on the North Korean issue, and then they performed together. It comes back, “he wrote.
Abe, who accompanied Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s visit to North Korea in 2002, took advantage of the kidnapping problem and became a national political star. Crazy.

◇ 1st Secretary General of the Abe regime, 2nd Secretary of the Abe regime
Minister Suga was elected Secretary of State during the first Abe regime (September 26, 2006 to September 26, 2007).
When Prime Minister Abe resigned in September 2007 over his chronic illness, ulcerative colitis, and was disillusioned in September 2007, when Prime Minister Abe was in power, Suga was also a person who urged and supported a resurgence.
After the second power of Prime Minister Abe in December 2012, he has held the position of Minister Lee In-Jain of the Prime Minister’s residence for 7 years and 8 months.
Suga has been called “ Abe’s remorse ” since the Secretary of State’s inauguration, and he is evaluated for setting policies directed by the Prime Minister’s residence.
Professor Nakajima said in his book: “In May 2014, the Cabinet Personnel Office will be established in the form of Suga.” .
It is explained that Suga is also responsible for “sontaku policy”, which is considered to be detrimental to the “Abe First River” system.
Sontaku means that the inferior person examines the intention of the superior person and manages it himself, and the politics of the sontaku means the behavior of the bureaucrats who flatter the residence of the Prime Minister.

◇ When Suga is in power, it seems that the Abe regime’s policy will be inherited.
Given that he served as a government spokesman for a long period of time in the Abe regime, it is predominantly observed that if Suga becomes prime minister, he will succeed the Abe regime in a broad framework.
Supporters such as ‘Post Abe’ also noted that ‘policy continuity’ can be guaranteed, and Prime Minister Abe appears to be supporting Minister Suga for that reason.
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun said Prime Minister Abe’s decision to support the Liberal Democratic Party’s largest faction, the Hosoda faction, and the second-largest faction, the Aso faction, in support of Suga, “a move that reflects the intention of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. “I analyzed the 1st.
Minister Suga, who officially declared himself a candidate for the PLD presidential elections on the afternoon of the 2nd, is likely to also emphasize the succession of the Abe regime and the continuity of politics in a press conference.
There are also observations that Suga will only take over as prime minister until the remainder of the term from Prime Minister Abe (~ September 2021), who resigns due to chronic illness.
However, although Suga has a right-wing tendency like Prime Minister Abe, he is also evaluated “not a right from within” (Nakajima, book ‘The Liberal Democratic Party’).
In fact, Minister Suga is said to have opposed Prime Minister Abe’s “economic regeneration first” when he visited the Yasukuni shrine on December 26, 2013.
