Atsuko here. This is a share for those who love Kumamoto.
This is 熊日Kumanichi article about [Foreigners added to self-government ordinance “citizens” Kumamoto city is the first ordinance-designated city Misunderstanding of “suffrage” spreads] (I attached English translated page)
Kumamoto City has set a one-month public comment period ending January 18. Based on the feedback from the public comments, a draft amendment will be submitted to the regular city council meeting in February, and a schedule will be developed for the amendment to take effect on April 1. If Kumamoto City says that Kumamoto City is collecting public comments from Kumamoto citizens on this move, then the opinions of foreigners living in Kumamoto City, who are also parties to this, will also be needed, and this is the sharing of information on the public comment solicitation, I think. It is very difficult to decide what is the best way for everyone and I cannot tell what is best for all. But I think it is a great opportunity to have this opportunity for public comment that respects diverse opinions, where opinions are solicited widely, and where opinions are reflected and diverse opinions are made widely known to the public. It is my hope that Kumamoto City will be a nice, peaceful, and pleasant place to live for each, various people of all, every kinds.ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧
