A Korean civil society group in Berlin, Germany, has applied to the court to suspend the decision after local authorities have revoked permission to install a statue of a girl symbolizing the comfort women issue.
In response to this, the local authorities have decided to allow the installation of the statue for the time being, and will carefully consider future measures.
In the Mitte district of Berlin, a Korean civil society set up a statue of a girl symbolizing the comfort women issue on public land last month, but on the 8th of this month, the district said, "On one side due to historical issues between nations. We must avoid standing up, "he said, revoking the installation permit and requesting that it be removed by the 14th.
In response, the group filed a petition with the court to suspend the decision by the 13th, saying that the removal of the statue of the girl would not be accepted, and also challenged the ward.
On the 13th, a protest demonstration was held with about 250 people gathered at the announcement of the group, and Mayor Fondassel of Mitte Ward, who was handed a petition by the representative of the group, said, "What are the arguments for and against? I would like to think again about whether we have considered it enough. "
The ward announced that it would allow the installation of the statue of a girl for the time being, saying that the request to remove the statue of a girl, which had been made until the 14th, has become invalid.
The ward will wait for the court's decision and will carefully consider future measures as it wants to find a compromise that can be accepted by the Japanese side and the group side.
