News Article: Tsurugashima City Assembly Addresses Megumi Fukushima's Social Media Activity
Megumi Fukushima, an independent lawmaker in Tsurugashima, a city northwest of Tokyo, has found herself at the centre of controversy following her continued outspoken stance against discrimination on social media.
The city assembly, in a move to address the situation, has made an official statement due to Fukushima's continued use of her official title in her social media posts, despite a request from the chairman to exercise restraint. This decision was made on Monday, following the passing of a motion by the assembly.
Fukushima, known for her vocal criticisms of the right-wing 'Japanese First' Sanseito party, has faced dozens of complaints from the public. Her posts, which denounce prejudice against immigrants and women, have stirred up significant debate and criticism.
However, Fukushima has rejected the chairman's request to stop posting on social media with her official title. This decision has led to a series of serious threats, including messages threatening to kill her and bomb city hall. One such threat was posted on the Tsurugashima city's website.
The city assembly chair, Yoshihiro Uchino, has condemned these threats, stating that they are unacceptable. He emphasized that the assembly’s resolution was not meant to limit Fukushima's political activities, but rather to encourage self-restraint after her refusal to comply with previous requests.
In the midst of these tensions, Fukushima remains defiant in her advocacy against discrimination. The local government, while condemning the threats, is seeking to moderate her social media conduct to maintain peace and order in the city.
