Akie Abe, the wife of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was shot and killed while giving a speech in support of a Liberal Democratic Party candidate in the House of Councillors election in July 2022, posted a message on x (formerly Twitter) on the 14th, which has received many comments of concern and sympathy.
On the 14th, Japan time, former US President Trump, who had a deep friendship with Abe, was shot and injured in his right ear while giving a speech at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in preparation for the US presidential election in November this year. According to US media, the 20-year-old man who shot Trump was shot and killed by the Secret Service, but one person was killed and two were seriously injured, making it an attempted assassination that shocked the whole world.
In her post on the 14th, Akie did not mention Trump or Abe at all, but simply wrote, “A lot of nostalgic things are coming up…”, along with photos of Abe and his wife’s goods, such as “Shin-chan Manju”, which was modeled after Abe and sold at the National Diet store, and “Akki Lucky Cookies” with her own illustrations. Not many words were written, and all the items in the photo were mementos of her husband. In response to Akie’s post on the day of the incident that reminded people of Abe’s tragedy, social media users commented, “It’s a meaningful and effective post, especially at a time when there was an incident overseas, so I’m grateful,” “Akie, who is probably the person in Japan who is most concerned about today’s events, posted nostalgic Shin-chan Manju and Akki Cookies without whining or complaining. I think it’s a consideration for those who are worried about her. She is truly an amazing person,” “I have so many wonderful memories. Thank you for your concern for everyone. I will try to spend my time calmly,” and “Today was a day to remember Abe.” Abe was shot and killed while giving a campaign speech in Nara City on July 8, 2022. A memorial service was held in his hometown of Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture on the 8th of this month. A memorial service for the third anniversary of his death is also being held on June 30th at Zojoji Temple in Minato Ward, Tokyo, where the funeral was held. [Nikkan Sports] 2024/7/15 (Mon) 16:35
>>1 There’s no need to praise Abe relatively. He hasn’t produced any results. The only thing he was praised for was removing South Korea from the white list, but that disappeared quickly because of Kishida. All that’s left is the secret fund issue and the failure of Abenomics. The economy is only going to continue to decline.
It’s been said that Abe is lucky to have such a high approval rating, but the fact that he hasn’t cheated is also a factor. There are a lot of shitty politicians in the LDP who can’t even do that.
Let’s make this a day to remember the incompetence of the Japanese police and fire departments. The fire department was also working very slowly, and it took about 2 hours for them to get to the hospital.
