It's all one flower.

2200. Repression of rights

"Well, Arterra has seen an increase in the number of unemployed and low-income households." You'll be sensitive to the arrival, price, and safety of chicken and eggs. ”

Were the other chicken farms safe?

“Is it bird flu? It seems that the chicken farm alone was enough, but after all, the food damage of the native fish (Dogyo) is terrible."

The ward manager drops his gaze on the tablet device on the desktop. Now in power saving mode, it's just a black board.

From the mayor's house in the western parish of the Listvar autonomous region, he could not pick up the radio waves of the Lacrimalis Kingdom, but Kufushenka was taught by the green-haired hairdresser that he could take pictures and recordings without being connected anywhere.

In the unlikely event that a recording is made, Kufsienka chooses words carefully not to be taken.

"But if it's an infectious disease, I think you should tell it in the newspapers or on the radio and have everyone take care of the infection."

"If you can take measures by knowing, it would make sense to tell you, but it seems that the demon beast wanders around the city with my face, and it is difficult to even go shopping for daily food, rather than commuting to school." That's all I know, and it's only fuelling anxiety and confusion in my pupils. ”

The warden laughs at the old galloping craftsman.

As soon as we find the dead wild birds, we'll be in touch, so we can understand the outbreak of avian influenza and counter the outbreak of monsters at the same time.

"Communication outages are not limited to the internet, and there are many areas where telephone exchanges can't be connected."

”Well... what a mess”

“Yes, because clay fish are lurking in sidewalk implants and so on, it can be fatal to go directly to the police and health center to let them know. I can't ask the public to do that."

... even if there were wild bird carcasses, the demonic beast would eat them right away.

Kufushenka found a big hole in her plan. In that case, it would be unnecessary to tell them to "find the wild bird's body but do not touch it".

“You say the Artel government prioritized the suppression of social unrest over the people's right to know.”

"It will be that way." If you have a disease that infects humans from humans, you'll make them report it to prevent mass transmission in shelters, but bird flu is basically not contagious to humans unless you have close contact with it. ”

If you only ask about this matter, it seems that you can make a reasonable illusion, but if you control everything and information at this rate, the freedom of the press will disappear completely.

The Nemoraris government also twisted the facts and announced them to the public without reporting on the demonic artillery cannon, or on the suppression of members of Congress who opposed the use of the demonic artillery cannon by Senator Lacques and others.

There is no freedom of the press in either country.

Without turning a blind eye to inconvenient facts, it is democracy... the essence of sovereign citizenship to work towards a solution with the knowledge of all citizens. Therefore, the quality and freedom of the press is valued as an indicator of a democratic state.

But reality is far from ideal.

Freedom of the press is not the only thing.

The ability of individual citizens to be sovereign... There is a big difference between wisdom and thinking ability, which can provide knowledge to understand the content of government announcements and reports, as well as concrete solutions.

Above all, how many people participate in the administration with their awareness as sovereigns?

Many people are caught up in their daily lives and do not even have time to obtain information and knowledge.

Even academically-respecting Kirkukis had low literacy rates in the Lisver Autonomous Region due to poverty, and low voter turnout due to indifference to politics in the Artel Republic.

In addition to voting and becoming a politician themselves, there are many opportunities to be involved as sovereigns in national government and local administration, such as listening to parliament, petitions and complaints to parliamentarians and administrations, curbing fraud and abuse by monitoring the use of taxes and the activities of politicians, responding to public invitations for opinions, and participating in publicly offered projects.

However, in order to be able to carry them around, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge, technology and time and economic leeway to be sufficient for the activity.

Those who are chased by work, household chores, childcare, and nursing care, and cannot even take their time, even if they have rights, they cannot reach the actual activities.

Without a minimum of reading and writing, we cannot understand the political and administrative content of newspapers and the content of public relations magazines published by the state and local governments, and we cannot prepare the documents necessary for those activities.

Kufsienka recovered her mind and listened.

“What other articles appeared in the Barbatum headquarters edition and not in the Artel edition?”

"There is a lot of talk about the intrusion of native fish into the farmland, almost all of the wheat this year was imported, and salt damage occurred in the vegetable factory. Well, I'm a reporter in the living department, so there is a lot of talk about that."

"Salt damage? It's hydroponics, isn't it? How could you do that?"

The mayor of the Ristvar Autonomous Region hid his voice when Kukhsienka, the star craftsman, heard him.

The security camera footage clearly showed the crime and the killer's face.

"You don't want to report it even though you have a photo of the killer's face?"

"I was surprised to hear both the Living Department agent and the Social Affairs Department agent, and the Social Affairs Department reporter protested against the boulder."

"Is it because I found out that the killer is in a position that cannot be publicized?"

Khufu Shenka thought it was different, but she tried to make her mouth look like it was a mistake.

"I hear you're a wizard who uses evil deeds." They popped up in the factory and poured water into the hydroponic canals. It turns out it's not poison, it's just salt water, but the vegetables have withered. ”

"Huh... ahh!"

Kufushenka could imagine the circumstances of the crime.

The culprit broke into the [Jump], pulled salt water from the [Infinite Bottle] and poured it into the hydroponic plant.

It is unclear whether it was an employee's guide or whether the offender has committed the crime since he infiltrated as a part-time worker, etc., but if he escapes by magic, the investigators of the people without strength will not be able to catch him.

When there was a photo, there was nothing I could do about it if I changed my face with magic or magical tools.

"Maybe it was the nemolaris or the guerrillas, but arresting the culprits is hopeless."

I guess so.

I wonder if they can both sigh (twice).

“The local police have warned employees not to cause any confusion by letting food contamination come to light.”

If consumers want to avoid factory-produced vegetables, they can't get a replacement.

Kufsienka couldn't speak much.
