Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the Yasukuni shrine, where class A war criminals from the Pacific War gathered on the 19th, three days after his retirement. He visited this place in December 2013 as sitting prime minister and was criticized but refrained from worshiping afterwards, but as soon as he took off the title of ‘sitting prime minister’ he worshiped again to reveal his extreme tendencies right.

Former Prime Minister Abe said on Twitter that day: “I visited the Yasukuni shrine and reported renouncing the Spirit.” He uploaded a photo of his movement at the shrine and in the guestbook wrote: “ Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister. ” He visited Yasukuni Shrine after seven years as sitting prime minister, following former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, who visited him in August 2006 at the time of 2013. At that time, when Korea and China strongly rebelled, they volunteered tributes on behalf of the governor of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party for ceremonies in spring and fall.

Although he resigned from his current position, former Prime Minister Abe has been deeply involved in the birth process of Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide and is also an active lawmaker with strong political influence. Prime Minister Suga said: “I will discuss diplomatic matters with my predecessor”, and former Prime Minister Abe also expressed his thoughts: “I want to act as the diplomatic envoy of the new government” in an interview with Yomiuri Shimbun on the 18th. With this in mind , it is analyzed that his visit is a move aimed at the meeting of the Japanese conservatives, a key supporter, in consideration of the early general elections, while at the same time sending a message to neighboring countries that the Japanese government will adhere to the existing route in terms of history. The Korean Foreign Ministry rebelled on the 19th and said: “We express our deep concern and regret for Abe’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, a facility that glorifies colonial invasion and war of aggression.” China’s state media also criticized it as “the intention to unite the forces of the right.” Tokyo = Correspondent Park Hyung-jun [email protected] / Choi Ji-sun reporter
