Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was the longest -term office of Japan. Today, Abe was killed by shooting, and people in Japan were distracted.

According to Japanese media reports, about 11:30 local time, Shinzo Abe was delivered in Nara, Western Japan to vote for the Sunday Liberal Democratic Party campaign. The suspect was shot from behind the two minutes after the speech began.

The attacker was said to be a 41 -year -old local man who was arrested at the scene. At present, its motivation is unknown, but there are reports that the suspect is a former member of the Japanese Maritime Self -Defense Force. The suspect said he was dissatisfied with Abe and intends to kill him.

In Japan after World War II, political violence and general gun violence were extremely rare, so the Japanese public shocked the incident. In Japan, the ownership of the gun is strictly supervised, and only those who pass the assessment can have a gun.

The shooting incident occasionally in organized criminal gangs, usually the struggle between the two sides, but Japan's violent crime rate has always been very low.

After the war, the extremely right -wing group launched several attacks on politicians: In 1990, the mayor of Nagasaki was shot in the chest and was seriously injured; in 1960, the Japanese Socialist Party leader Asa Nagrao was assassinated.

In the pre -war era, democratic politicians were often attacked and intimidated by militarists. On May 15, 1932, the Japanese Prime Minister Inu Jiyi was assassinated by the right -winged Mountains of the Military Ministry and San Shangzhuo.

Abe's political means

Abe, 67, is the grandson of the former Prime Minister of Japan Kishimo, and the descendant of the Conservative Liberal Democratic Party, who was in power after the war. On September 26, 2006, Abe was first elected the 90th generation of Japan Prime Minister and resigned on September 12 the following year.

In 2012, he returned to Japanese politics strongly, regained the leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party, and won in the general election in December of that year. After that, Abe successively won in the 2014 and 2017 national elections and consolidated power.

He introduced the economic policy "Abe Economics" based on super loose monetary policy and expanding fiscal expenditure and economic reform. However, the two measures to increase consumption tax have damaged Japan's efforts to get rid of decades of economic stagnation.

As a member of extreme nationalist lobbying groups, Abe has made a profound change in Japan's diplomatic and defense policies, re -explained Article 9 of the Peace Constitution, that is, "abandoning the right of war" and allowing the Self -Defense Force to deploy more overseas.

The Abe government is increasing national defense expenses every year. In 2015, the Japanese Parliament passed a controversial security bill to allow the Self -Defense Force to participate in the collective defense operations of the allies, especially the United States, and may also include Australia, India and the United Kingdom.

Abe initially proposed the concept of Japan, the United States, Australia, and India's Quartet security partnerships. Essence

Abe's long -term governance is one of the most experienced leaders in the world. He uses his diplomatic experience to stabilize his relationship with the United States, and handle his relationship with former Trump through "golf diplomacy".

However, due to Japan's colonial rule for North Korea, historical issues were controversial, and his relationship with South Korea was very poor during his term.

In 2019, Abe's governing alliance failed to reach more than two -thirds of seats, and Abe's dominant position in Japanese politics began to erode. A series of long -term existing skirt relationship scandals also weakened his public status.

Although Japan has done a good job in responding to the epidemic and listened to the public's proposed sanitary measures, as the economy has fallen into a serious decline, the Abe government has been criticized by more and more improper behaviors to respond to the epidemic. In recent years, Abe's health has deteriorated again. He resigned in August 2020 and was replaced by the former Cabinet Guanfang Chief Tan Yiwei.

Despite his step -down as the Prime Minister, Abe still stayed in Congress and became the leader of Sima Pai last year, supporting the current Prime Minister Kishida to run for the leader of the party.

The "sequelae" of the Abe incident "

In response to this tragedy, the Liberal Democratic Party demanded that its candidates will stop the election, and the opposition politicians have also announced the suspension of the campaign.

At present, Kishida Wenxiong has returned to the Prime Minister's Office to monitor the situation, but has not announced the election voting arrangement of the House House of Houses on July 10.

In the polls before the election, the Liberal Democratic Party is expected to cooperate with the Gongming Party to win a majority of seats.

However, due to the death of the Abe's shot, the election of the House of House in 2022 will still be under the shadow of political anxiety.
