‘We Need No Nuclear Power Plants’ Calls Surround METI—1,300 Gather in Rain


I joined the human chain action on Nov. 1 at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. As I ran up the stairs from the subway station, people were listening into the speeches by Actor Taro Yamamoto. Following his speech was the song by a girl group. Police control around the subway entrance area was strict because of the ministry officials returning home after work, they said. Although the police kept tight guard, the number of participants continued to grow, leading to a complete human chain surrounding the METI building. With umbrellas and rain coats, we held the banners and candles, and made noise with instruments. Though in the cold rain, everyone was cheerful. Solidarity was confirmed as we held our hands tight. Raising our tightly-held hands, we chanted, “No More Nuclear Plants.” The voices of 1,300 echoed in the rainy night, when only the lights from the METI building it the human chain. By Y.

「原発はいらない」の声に包まれた経産省~雨のなか1300人が参加

11月11日「たそがれの経産省キャンドル包囲・人間の鎖アクション」に参加した。駅の階段を駆け上がると、集まった人々は宣伝カーからの発言に耳を傾けていた。マイクを握っているのは俳優の山本太郎さんのようだ。続いておなじみ制服向上委員会の歌が始まった。東京メトロ・霞が関駅の出入り口付近では、特に警官による規制が目立つ。退庁の通勤者を通させることを口実にして、やかましい警告を繰り返している。しかし、そんな警備陣の努力も空しく、参加者は増え続けた。そして圧倒的な包囲の輪が形成された。傘を差し、カッパを着て、ゼッケンを首から垂らし、横断幕を広げ、キャンドルを持ち、楽器を打ち鳴らした。寒さのなかで立ち続ける人々の表情は明るく、あちこちで連帯の会話が交わされていた。つないだ手はしっかりと握られ、そしてかけ声とともに高々と掲げられた。「原発はいらない」-1300人の叫びが、冷たい雨をはね返した。省内から漏れる光が、参加者の固い決意を照らしていた。(報道部・Y)・写真(様々な表現)
