自民、安倍氏追悼演説先送り　秋の臨時国会で調整、野党が反発

　自民党は２８日、８月３日に召集される臨時国会で予定していた故安倍晋三元首相の追悼演説について、秋の臨時国会に先送りする方向で調整に入った。野党各党は、政府がまず安倍氏国葬の法的根拠などについて説明すべきだと求め、折り合わなかった。

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is considering postponing a parliamentary speech mourning slain former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, initially expected next week, sources familiar with the matter said Thursday.
   The LDP has proposed convening a parliamentary session Wednesday for a three-day run and holding the speech for Abe on the final day. But opposition parties have rejected the schedule.
   Opposition parties claim that the government should first explain the legal grounds for a state funeral for Abe, set for Sept. 27. He was shot to death while making a stump speech in the western city of Nara on July 8.
   They also demand that the parliamentary session run for a longer period to enable deliberations on the state funeral, a response to surging COVID-19 cases and soaring prices.
   The speech for Abe is now expected to be given at another parliamentary session expected to take place in autumn, the sources said.
