Statement by Kazumi Katakura ( summary )

I, and my parents, my husband and wife, sons married couple, lived in Mitsukaido has two houses in three generations. Among them, one house was severely damaged and the other was partially damaged.

Initially, I gave up on floods as natural disasters, but I joined the Joso Flood Victims Association and gradually learned the causes of floods. In January 2016 , participated in a discussion with the country held at the Lower House Second House. Touching the irresponsibility and insaneness of the nation, I became plaintiff, thinking that this would not only make up for our damage, but also that the flood damage that would occur throughout the country would continue.

I'm sorry. Without the flood, there would have been no tragedy of losing life, such as losing a family, losing property, or losing a job. The state should admit non-compliance and turn to river administration trusted by the people for the people.

Today is the 340th day from filing the complaint . The trial has been delayed without any explanation from the local Shimotsuma Branch to the Mito District Court without any explanation. In the future, please proceed promptly and make a fair judgment.

On November 28, the Kinugawa River inundation in September 2015 was a flaw in river management of the country, and the first oral argument in the court seeking national compensation was the Mito District Court of the Mito District Court. I will post that article.
After hearing the plaintiffs' statement of opinion, the thoughts of the two were transmitted, I realized that I had to win this trial by any means.
