Yesterday was "Takeshima Day."
I took a morning flight, went to Shimane Prefecture and participated in the ceremony.
With the COVID-19 relevant regulation was lifted, the event was held without admission restrictions, and the streets were on strict alert.
I listened to the live speeches of Shimane Pref. Gov. (Tatsuya Maruyama) & Okinoshima Town Mayor (Kosei Ikeda) for the 1st time in a while.
They really hit a sore spot.
Originally, it should've been held by the central government.
Why does (Tokyo) make local governments carry out "national defense" & "diplomacy"!?
I could feel that regret.
The speech by Shojiro Hiranuma, a parliamentary vice minister of the Cabinet Office, was excellent. However, protest-voice occurred at the venue that "Why don't no ministers come here?"
As a national lawmaker elected fron the the Chugoku electoral bloc, I would like to firmly grill the central government's attitude.
