It is a valuable record of his speech that should be required reading not only for Japanese citizens but also for people worldwide.

The following is from a tweet by Eiji Kosaka, which I have just discovered.
Eiji Kosaka, Arakawa Ward Councilor (Japan Conservative Party)

I am sure many Japanese citizens were utterly unaware of this, as I was also surprised to learn about it for the first time.
It is a valuable record of his speech that should be required reading not only for Japanese citizens but also for people worldwide.

The talk focuses on the privileges granted to zainichi Koreans.  
The special permanent residence permit is an entirely unjustified vested interest.  
Despite being a foreigner, they are not subject to deportation no matter what heinous crimes they commit.  
Although there is a provision in the law that allows deportation, it does not apply to them for some reason.  
It is inconsistent with the fact that ordinary permanent residents are deported even if they commit a minor crime.  
It is abnormal that the special permanent residence permit, originally intended to be a provisional measure, should be allowed to continue unabated, and the system should be abolished.  

The use of aliases, or "nicknames" for short, which can be used in addition to one's real name, also distorts society.  
They can open a bank account under a nickname but can easily change it.
The authorities will not reject the application if they apply to change their aliases.  
Surprisingly, there is no limit to the number of times they can change your alias.
If they change their alias more than four times, they must submit a document explaining why they are changing it as a standard system in the 23 wards of Tokyo, but zainichi Koreans can write any reason they want.
Surprisingly, in one of the 23 wards, there was a case in which a person changed their nickname up to 32 times.
In Arakawa Ward, there is also a case where a person has changed their alias ten times.
We cannot help but think that such frequent nickname changes, which Japanese people cannot imitate, are done to do something that can only be done by pretending to be someone else.  
We abolish such a distorted system.

The subsidies for parents attending foreign schools are also a zainichi privilege.  
In Arakawa Ward, 84,000 yen is provided per child per year without an income limit.  
In Arakawa Ward, 97% of the families eligible for this subsidy attend Chōsen gakkō.  
The Chōsen gakkō continue to provide anti-Japanese education and praise of dictatorships; their educational content is far from that stipulated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology and is a black box with no information disclosed. 
It is also inconsistent with the fact that the ward does not subsidize Japanese students attending private elementary and junior high schools; the subsidy amount has been continuously raised without any resolution or report from the assembly, and foreign residents in Japan can attend public elementary and junior high schools for free. 
Still, they have given up that right and attend at their own will. 
When we strongly insisted three years ago that the subsidies be abolished, we immediately received a threatening phone call from the principal of the Chōsen gakkō.  
The principal said, "This will be a big problem for parents, school officials, and their Japanese acquaintances. I have known many members of the Diet and the head of the local government for a long time, and they understand about the school and the parental subsidy. If this continues, the political life of Councilor Kosaka, a new councilor, will be in jeopardy. I won't let it go on like this." 
It is what he said. 
The Chongryon website officially states that "Chōsen gakkō is a national school under the umbrella of Chongryon, and its purpose of education is to nurture actual Koreans with a Juche worldview, ethnic background, and "knowledge, virtue, and body.
The Juche idea is an ideology that justifies the dictatorship of Kim Il Sung and Jong Il, and the school is designed to instill such an ideology.  
It is out of the question for the local government to subsidize a school under the umbrella of Chongryon, which is engaged in anti-Japanese activities at every opportunity.  
Furthermore, in November 2005, Arakawa Ward, bowing to pressure in the name of "parents' requests," expanded the scope of the subsidy to include Japanese nationals, using a method called "revision of the outline" to circumvent a report to the assembly.
As we will explain in detail, this clearly means that the ward is subsidizing an illegal act.  
And without the council's permission!  
We immediately demanded that the subsidies be suspended, and the guidelines be revised, but the policy has yet to be reversed.  
The "expansion of the scope" of the subsidy, which until now was only for "children of foreign nationality" or "those who have been exempted from the obligation to attend school after completing the necessary procedures," is to be expanded to include some Japanese nationals. 
Even if they can attend Chōsen gakkō without completing the school attendance exemption procedures, in other words, violating their school attendance obligation, the subsidy will still be extended to those exempted from the school attendance obligation. 
Arakawa Ward has expanded the scope of the subsidy to 84,000 yen per year to be paid to the parents.   
If one parent is Japanese and one is a foreigner, the child must choose a nationality before adulthood. Still, until that choice is made, the child is a Japanese citizen, meaning that the parents are obligated without exception to send the child to an Article 1 elementary or junior high school under the School Education Law.  
Chōsen gakkō is not included in this category.
(This is the first part of Kosaka's speech in 2008!)
