Was he really a “Maglev advocate”?
The issue of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen Shizuoka construction area is often seen as a conflict between Governor Heita Kawakatsu of Shizuoka Prefecture (he resigned on April 10) and JR Tokai, but because of Mr. Kawakatsu to resign suddenly, the problem will continue. new size.
Mr. Kawakatsu has so far described himself as a “serial advocate.” He also said this at a press conference on April 10.
“(The Linear Chuo Shinkansen) has been around since the 1970s, and it’s the epitome of modern Japanese technology, I know that, and I’ve never strayed from being a supporter.”
However, in reality, the governor has accepted that construction is not allowed, citing reasons such as the protection of the water resources of the River Oi and the environment of the Southern Alps.
It is only natural for a prefectural governor to consider the benefits of prefectural residents first. In order to protect the water resources that are directly connected to the lives of the people of the prefecture, it is a very legitimate duty of the governor to pay close attention to the maintenance of the water level of the Oi River and advocate for the protection of the river’s environment. Southern Alps, which can be considered as the asset of the people.
However, the conditions that Mr. Kawakatsu requested for the Linear Chuo Shinkansen did not seem to be at all similar to the one that advocated the Linear Line, and it seems that he will continue to raise the bar for construction as long as possible. as he changed his points one after the other. .
Indeed, Mr. the serial. Other Seisei Federation governors welcomed Mr. Kawakatsu in the hope that he would make positive changes toward the start of construction, but even after that, construction in Shizuoka Prefecture has not progressed.

It’s not a “break” unless we get to the point where we can start building linearly.
Mr Kawakatsu cited “the serial breach problem” as the reason for his resignation, and said his comments, which have been criticized as “employment discrimination”, were not in the instructions given to employees. newly hired prefectural workers. reason
However, due to the serial issue, the opening was only postponed. If Mr. Kawakatsu is really a supporter of linear railways, wouldn’t the “break” be to find a compromise that will lead to the start of construction of the Shizuoka Linear Chuo Shinkansen section while solving water issues and protect the environment?
In response to the resignation, Aichi Prefecture Governor Hideaki Omura, who chairs the Seisei Federation, said the following to Mr. Kawakatsu.
“He made a statement that could be interpreted as his own performance in giving up the opening in 2027. It’s very sad and very disappointing. standing.”
Considering the words and actions of Mr. Kawakatsu in the past, it would be a shame to say something angry.
