Concerning the removal of the "memorial monument for Koreans" from Jan. 29 using administrative subrogation procedure, which is erected in the "Gunma Prefectural Forest Park" in Takasaki City, at a regular press briefing on Jan. 25, Gunma Pref. Gov. Taichi Yamamoto said that "Not the inscription and the purpose of the erection are problematic, but all what does matter is breaching the rule established at the time of erection."
After that, he emphasized the conventional stance that "Following the decision, which was deliberated even at the Supreme Court and fixed, we will handle the case solemnly."
> 今回の代執行のタイミングについての質問には「担当部は『もっと早く進めたい』との意向だったが、私から、もう少し丁寧に(撤去後の)代替地の提案も含め期間を延長して交渉するよう要請した」と経緯を説明。
>「(ルール違反と司法判断に従わない)公益に反した状況が続いているわけで、ここまでが限界」との認識を示した。
In response to a question on the timing of this "administrative subrogation," he explained the process that "The department in charge had an inteition to [want to progress it more quickly]. Howver, I requested them to negotiate more politely by extending the period, including a proposal for an alternative site (after the removal)."
He showed recognition that "The situation contradicting with the public interest (by breaching the rule and not following judicial decision), it's therefore the limit."
> また社民党が 25日、日韓関係への影響が大きいなどとして、福島瑞穂党首の名で執行停止を求める要請文を行ったことには「そもそも、この問題は東京にいる社民党の方々が決めることではない」と一蹴。
> 日韓関係への影響についても「外交ルートで何か来ているわけでもない」と語った。
Btw, concerning that the SDP issued a request statement to request suspension of the execution in the name of party head Mizuho Fukushima on Jan. 25, saying that it would have a large impact on Japan-S. Korea relations, he bluntly dismissed that, saying that "To begin with, it's not a matter which should be fixed by the SDJ membes in Tokyo."
Cocerning the impact on Japan-S. Korea relations too, he said that "It's also not true that something has come via diplomatic channels."
> 設置の際に決めたルールとは「政治的行事を行わない」との条件だったが、その後の追悼式で出席者が「強制連行の事実を訴えたい」などと発言。
> 条件に反したとして県は更新を認めず市民団体が不許可処分取り消しなどを求めたが、令和4年6月、最高裁は市民団体の上告を棄却、「式で『強制連行』という文言を含む政治的発言があり、碑は中立的性格を失った」とする高裁判決が確定した。
Concerning the rule fixed at the time of erection was "not to carry out political events," etc. However, participants in the memorial services after that remarked such as that "We want to appeal the fact of forceful taking away," etc.
The pref. authority therefore didn't renew the installation-permission saying that it violated the ordinance, and the civic organization (filed a lawsuit) sought to retraction of the non-perission decision. However, in June 2023, the Supreme dismissed the appeal by the civic organization, therefore the high court sentence to say that "Political remarks including words of [forceful taking away] were made in the memorial services, the memorial monument therefore lost neutral position" was fixed.
> これを受けた交渉も平行線をたどり、市民団体側は新たに碑の撤去命令の執行停止を求める訴えなどを起こしたが、うち2件がすでに却下されている。
> 山本知事は「追悼碑は現在、静かにたたずんでいる」とする市民団体側の主張にも「静かにたたずんでいるのなら、そもそも裁判にはならない。最高裁まで行った以上、その決定に従う」と繰り返した。
> 代執行の期間は2月11日まで。
> この間、県は臨時閉園にして撤去作業を行う。
In the talks in response to that, the two sides failed to reach an agreement, and the civic organization sides newly filed lawsuits to seek execution-suspension of the removal-order of the monument, etc. However, two of them were already dismissed.
In response to the argument by the civic organization side to say that "The memorial monument stands quietly in nowadays," Gov. Yamamoto repeatedly said that "If it were to stand quietly, there would be no lawsuits in the first place. As it went to the Supreme Court, we follow its decision."
The period of the administrative subrogation procedure is by Feg. 11.
During the period, the pref. authority will temporarily close the park and carry out the removal work.
