Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said at a meeting on the afternoon of the 22nd that he was not considering making the day of the state funeral of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a holiday.
In connection with some people's opposition to making Abe's funeral a state funeral, "The state funeral is held as a ritual, and it is a political evaluation and mourning for each and every one of the people. I don't ask you to take it. "
In addition, regarding the fact that the state funeral was decided by the Cabinet decision, it was pointed out that it was legally ambiguous in some cases. The affairs related to national ceremonies are stipulated, and it is legally clear that the execution of national ceremonies, including state funerals, belongs to the administrative authority. " "It can be done on the basis of a cabinet decision," he said.
