Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is buried today

Buddhist rites are under way inside the Bayoy temple. After the funeral, the vehicle that will hold Abe's body will pass through downtown Tokyo.
We remember that the 67-year-old former prime minister was shot dead last Friday as he delivered a speech about the campaign in Nara in southern Japan.

Throughout Tokyo, flags have been waved in half a dozen and outside the temple, a long range of citizens, many of whom carry clusters of flowers, lying in two blocks. Many say to the BBC that Abe gave them a sense of security, one woman said that during the first days of Covid, when Abe was prime minister, she felt he had dealt with the crisis effectively. /abcnews.al/
