I don't think much of what it written in that article is up for debate? You can check his wikipedia page for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo_Abe#Political_positions_and_philosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinzo_Abe#Political_positions...
"Abe is affiliated with the openly ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference). He is considered a right-wing populist and ultra-conservative within the LDP, and some media and books have referred to him as a far-right politician"
There were also numerous scandals during his tenure, most of which were not widely reported outside Japan... but, an example is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritomo_Gakuen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moritomo_Gakuen
"In March 2018, it was revealed that the finance ministry (with finance minister Tarō Asō at its head) had falsified documents presented to the parliament in relation to the Moritomo Gakuen scandal, to remove 14 passages implicating Abe."

- rtpg 4y agoYou can go look at primary sources. Nippon Kaigi I’d a nationalist organization, plain and simple. It’s public record he’s in it. Moritomo Gakuen as well. What source of info would you believe in summarizing Shinzo Abe’s policy? The Economist? Basically any in depth coverage of Abe would go into this (not to judge but to state the current political conditions in Japan) so it’s findable
