秃鹰、Shinzo Abe的醜聞:「森友學園」;安倍 昭恵, Akie Abe /Shinzo Abe......失民心

日本首相安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)今日离开日本,启程前往佛罗里达,与特朗普总统商讨朝鲜及贸易问题
安倍晋三将于今年晚些时候在中国与习近平会面,甚至可能还会与朝鲜的金正恩(Kim Jong-un)举行会晤。
但他的政治地位因国内丑闻而受到了损害,一些人开始产生疑问:六月份国会会期结束,他是否会辞职。
即使安倍可以声称与特朗普的会面取得了一些胜利,但这是否会对其有所帮助仍属未知。“即使是现在,秃鹰们也开始盘旋了,”一名分析人士说。



2018.3.16 本周,外國媒體猛攻Shinzo Abe的舊醜聞:

據報道,圍繞向學校法人“森友學園”出售國有土地相關審批文件被篡改的問題,此前自殺的財務省近畿財務局男職員留下記錄稱,在上級的指示下“被要求改寫”,而日本在野黨指出,另一名在1月疑似自殺的財務省官僚,或也與森友問題相關。

【韓政燕╱綜合外電報導】日本首相安倍晉三近日因妻子安倍昭惠涉及一起私立小學低價收購國有土地交易,陷入政治風暴。安倍昨在國會表示,妻子已辭去該校榮譽校長一職,強調絕對沒有涉入交易。
私立學校集團「森友學園」去年6月以1.34億日圓(約3652萬元台幣)向大阪府豐中市購買8770平方公尺(約2653坪)國有土地,僅約市價14%。森友計劃用該地蓋「瑞穗之國紀念小學」,今年4月啟用,由安倍昭惠擔任榮譽校長。森友負責人是極右派政治人物籠池泰典,與安倍及其內閣關係密切。
在野黨質疑安倍夫婦介入,該學園才能以低價購地,強調這攸關納稅人權益,須深入調查。不過當局解釋,考量該塊土地的消毒及清污費用龐大,才會以低價售出。
該學園網站原刊有安倍昭惠的推薦及照片,前天已撤下。
安倍昨在國會表示,鑑於該校引發「各種事件」,妻子決定辭去榮譽校長。他鄭重否認自己或妻子介入交易。對於森友先前以「安倍晉三紀念小學」的名義去募款一事,安倍說,已向該校抗議用他的名字對外募款,強調他在事前就拒絕此作法。
森友學園經營的幼稚園本周才掀爭議。幼稚園向學生家長提及批評中國人與南韓人的內容,引起當局關切園方散播仇恨言論。該學園已為此道歉。 



So much for rebellious youth: Japan’s young people largely voted Sunday for the status quo.

Japanese in their teens and 20s backed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling coalition in Sunday’s parliamentary voting, a sign that Mr. Abe’s hawkish security policy and the improved job market were well-received.

Abe's Support Drops Sharply in Japan

Polls taken in recent days show a rapid downturn.

Updated Dec. 9, 2013 11:49 a.m. ET










TOKYO—Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's political support has sharply eroded for the first time since he came to power, as a feud over a secrecy bill dominated the final days of a parliament session that was to have focused on Japan's economic recovery.
A loss of support as Mr. Abe enters his second year in office could hamper his agenda to remake the economy and foreign policy—goals that have inspired optimism after years of political...

      Japan's First Lady Isn't Shy About Criticizing Policy

      One of the most widely quoted policy critics of Shinzo Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, is his wife. 

       

      Dec. 6, 2013 10:34 p.m. ET
      TOKYO—After winning two landslide elections over the past year, Japan's popular, powerful prime minister, Shinzo Abe, faces little parliamentary opposition. One of his most widely quoted policy critics runs a tiny pub named "UZU," or "Tidal Swirl," hidden among the back streets of a dowdy Tokyo commercial neighborhood.

      "I don't want agriculture to be treated like industrial products," the 51-year-old proprietor said one recent afternoon, explaining her antipathy to Mr. Abe's signature free-trade pact aimed at subjecting farmers to global competition. In her establishment, with just two dozen seats and a narrow open kitchen, she serves customers her organic "Akie Rice" grown in her "Akie Paddy" located back in the prime minister's own rural district.
      When she's not running her pub, Akie Abe carries out her official duties as Japan's first lady, greeting dignitaries and presenting awards. But the tart-tongued wife of the prime minister hasn't been afraid to offer her honest—often critical—opinions of her husband's policies, like the time she declared herself in a speech to be "the opposition in the household" over his staunch advocacy of nuclear power less than three years after the Fukushima disaster.
      "There's no guarantee another accident won't happen," Mrs. Abe told The Wall Street Journal in her first interview with a foreign media organization since her husband took power nearly a year ago. An avid user of Facebook who posts accounts of her daily activities from her smartphone, she once uploaded a photo of the carcass of a cow left in the evacuation zone that she had taken herself.
      So far, Mrs. Abe seems to have had little sway over Mr. Abe's policy-making. But she has angered supporters and energized foes. Some Japanese media have called her Mr. Abe's liability, others his secret weapon, helping stoke his high support rate.
      The first lady's anti-nuke comments prompted an opposition lawmaker to chide Mr. Abe, 59, for failing to form a consensus even in his inner circle. From the floor of the legislative chamber, the parliament member held up a panel displaying photos of Mrs. Abe and former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, Mr. Abe's mentor, who has also recently attacked nuclear power.
      "I must admit those two are extremely important figures in my life," Mr. Abe responded with a chuckle. "But we as the government must ensure a stable energy supply."

      As her husband was getting the cold shoulder from his South Korean counterpart amid bilateral animosities, Mrs. Abe posted a photo of herself mixing a giant pot of bibimbap, a popular Korean dish, standing next to Korean dignitaries to celebrate a Korean festival in Tokyo in September. She received hundreds of comments accusing her of offenses like "cozying up to the Koreans" and "damaging Japan's national interests." She also got over 2,000 "likes" on her post and praise from a South Korean foreign ministry spokesman.
      Just as U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was urging her husband to make greater efforts to get along with South Korea during his visit to Tokyo Tuesday, Mrs. Abe was at an art show, exhibiting paintings by children from the two countries. "It is very important our children get to know each other through paintings," she said. "I believe the children will build the future for the Japan-Korea relationship."
      The prime minister's office declined to comment for this article.
      Mrs. Abe has also helped to endear her husband to voters. She has shared with the public his personal moments, such as looking sleepy with mussed hair in the morning, and eating a Popsicle in pajama bottoms on their sofa late at night. Fans rallied to defend her photo of Mr. Abe feeding a piece of meat with chopsticks to the childless couple's dog, a miniature dachshund named Roy, after someone accused the prime minister of holding the utensils improperly, branding it an insult to Japanese culture.
      "She has served as his shock absorber," says Ikuo Gonoi, a political scientist who has analyzed Mrs. Abe's influence. Mr. Gonoi says Mr. Abe faces pressure from conservatives to pursue a tougher foreign policy and criticism from liberals that he's too hawkish. "Her remarks have kept his image from going to one extreme or the other."

      Japan's Effervescent First Lady

      Akie Abe Hisashi Murayama for The Wall Street Journal
      Mrs. Abe's blunt public statements reflect, in part, the surprising freedom and informality political families have in Japan, where American-style handlers and image-makers remain relatively rare.
      She isn't Japan's first first lady to make waves. Miyuki Hatoyama drew notice with a book published the year before her husband took office in 2009, describing her abduction by aliens. ("While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," she wrote). Nobuko Kan, the wife of another recent leader, published a book addressed to her husband titled "What Could Possibly Change If You Were Prime Minister?"
      Days after Mr. Abe started his first, short-lived term as prime minister in 2006, Mrs. Abe surprised the public by holding her husband's hand as they disembarked the plane on his first overseas trip. Such a display of affection had rarely been seen among Japan's public figures. The media scrutinized the photogenic first lady's fashionable outfits, and criticized her celebrity-like lifestyle. She abandoned her personal blog after a controversial post showing the Abes at a fancy holiday party at a well-known singer's house.
      After Mr. Abe returned to power in late 2012, Mrs. Abe picked up where she had left off. At an event to promote farming fashion, she hit the catwalk in a loose blue-and-white-striped smock with gold sneakers. She invited a Journal reporter to her practice session of naginata, a type of Japanese fencing. There, she sported a white cotton kimono paired with black baggy trousers, as she lunged at her opponent—the wife of another former prime minister—with a long wooden sword, giving a quick shout to express fighting spirit.
      Mrs. Abe grew up in Tokyo, heir to a family owning a confectionery company, and met Mr. Abe, the scion of one of Japan's most prominent political families, while she was working at an ad agency. They have been married since 1987.
      Mrs. Abe says she was never career-oriented, but explored her own projects after her husband's first stint as prime minister ended in 2007. "That was a period of setback and hardship for us as a couple. After a while, he decided to refocus on his political career. I felt like I needed to start my own life." She went back to school and wrote a master's thesis on education in Myanmar. She started farming.
      Then came the pub in October of last year, weeks before Mr. Abe returned to power. She says Mr. Abe agreed on two conditions: She didn't drink while working; and she must close it if she couldn't make a profit within a year. Has she met the financial goal? "Yes. Just barely," she said.
