Secret intention (Hon-ne) in Aso-san's speech


As some LDP supporters and I suspected, it is likely that Aso-san is reluctant to alter the constitution according to Sakurai Yoshiko-san who invited him to the symposium on July 29th. Nobukatsu Fujioka-san commented on the op-ed of Sankei Shimbun:
Aso-san’s sarcasm of あの手口学んだらどうかね? seemed to have been directed at Sakurai Yoshiko, president of Japan Institute of National Fundamentals.

Fujioka-san says, 麻生氏は改憲をなるべくうまくやろうとして発言したというよりも、改憲派の論議にブレーキをかけようとしたのが、本当の「真意」だということになる。ひどい話だ。Aso-san’s secret intention (Hon-ne) in his speech was to impede discussions by constitution altering people rather than promoting the alteration of the constitution. Give me a break.

If it is true, Aso-san took Sakurai Yoshiko and her supporters as Nazi people whom he doesn’t like.

I am quite certain that Abe-san will neither visit Yasukuni nor alter the constitution.

At the same time, I have a strong feeling that he will lose ardent supporters of Abe-san.
