「違和感、疑問、反発」　立民、共産が国葬欠席

　立憲民主、共産、れいわ新選組、社民各党は２７日、安倍晋三元首相の国葬を欠席した。立民の泉健太代表は、当日も反対の声がやまなかったことに触れ「国民の理解、納得は得られなかった。相当な違和感、疑問、反発がある中で行われた。国会でも取り上げたい」と述べ、実施を「強行」した岸田文雄首相を１０月３日召集の臨時国会で追及する考えを示した。
　泉氏は記者団に「凶弾に倒れた元首相に改めてお悔やみを申し上げる」と述べる一方、党会合で国葬について「（法的）根拠や基準が乏しく、国会の関与もなく決定した」と批判した。（2022/09/27-18:59）

The leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and three other opposition parties refrained from attending the state funeral of the former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held in Tokyo on Tuesday.
   The state funeral "failed to gain public understanding and consent and was held amid people strongly feeling odd, questioning (its legitimacy) and opposing it," CDP chief Kenta Izumi said.
   While offering his condolences to the family of Abe, who was shot to death during a stump speech in Nara in July, Izumi criticized that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's decision to hold the state funeral was made without involvement of the Diet, Japan's parliament, and lacked legal grounds and standards.
   "We will take up the issue during the extraordinary Diet session (to be convened Monday)," he said.
   The CDP leadership team skipped the funeral, with Izumi watching the proceedings on television at party headquarters. Meanwhile, party lawmakers were free to decide for themselves whether to attend. Among them, former Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda went to the funeral and offered flowers.
