16. Lawyer Okuchu Wataru, representative of the Okayama Citizens’ Association, gives me a donation. When I checked it later, it was a lot of money.

17. I also made a remark. The point is, “Like Europe, major decisions must be made by the people themselves. Taiwan also decided to dismantle nuclear power plants through a referendum. Korea and Japan are currently in a state where the decision-making structure is broken unlike democratic countries. The problem of contaminated water is, considering the magnitude of the impact in terms of time and space, it is not just a matter for one politician to decide, the people must intervene. Failure to prevent the discharge of polluted water will result in dereliction of duty for all older generations in the world. The recent opposition from Miyagi prefecture has an important meaning. Citizens of Okayama Prefecture now have to make a request to the governor. If such prefectures increase one by one, the decision of the Kishida government will inevitably change.”
