Leader of the LDP-Okinawa Shimabukuro convention asking a question during the general questions session of the prefectural assembly’s February regular meeting = Prefectural assembly chamber on the morning of the 27th Author of this article: Seikaku Umeda
On the 27th, the Shimabukuro Dai faction leader of the Okinawa Prefectural Assembly group “Okinawa Liberal Democratic Party” called on the Ministry of Defense to “blankly withdraw” the plan to construct a Ground Self-Defense Force training facility in Ishikawa, Uruma City, citing the opposition of residents near the project site. He expressed the idea of seeking. He made this comment at the beginning of the prefectural assembly’s general questions on the same day.
The Liberal Democratic Party Prefectural Federation (chairman Hiroki Nakada) requested Defense Minister Minoru Kihara, who visited the prefecture on the 17th, to provide “careful explanations and consideration” with the priority being to gain the understanding of local residents when promoting the plan. Mr. Shimabukuro, who serves as the Liberal Democratic Party’s prefectural secretary-general, is calling for a more in-depth response from the government rather than a “blank revocation.”
Mr. Shimabukuro said that while he accepted the government’s basic policy of drastically strengthening defense capabilities, he said, “I have to say that it will be difficult to reach consensus in the current situation, so I would like to cancel the development plan.” We must urge them to do so.”
Stating that this is a consensus shared by Okinawa and the Liberal Democratic Party, he said, “We would like to take action as soon as possible to directly appeal to this idea.”
