Political positions
Ties to Nippon Kaigi
Abe was a member of the ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (日本会議). He supported the introduction of U.S. nuclear weapons to Japan for potential use against China and the DPRK.[1][2]
Death
Abe had ties to the cult known as the Unification Church (统一教), accepting donations and providing political patronage to the cult. Yamagami Tetsuya's mother, who was influenced by the Unification Church, gave a large amount of her own savings to it and even sold her house so she could donate the proceeds to the cult. On July 7, 2022, when Abe was giving a speech in Okayama City (Nara Prefecture), Tetsuya shot and killed Abe with a homemade shotgun. His assassination was celebrated by many Chinese and Koreans.
