A rally to
stop restart of the nuclear plants drew 15,000 people to Maizuru Park in
Fukuoka City on June 7. “We will never let them switch on the Sendai Plant,”
people demanded. Participants applauded when a Fukushima resident said, “It’s
unbelievable that (the company and the government) want to restart the nuclear
plants,” and a local resident from Sendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture, said, “We
the residents feel extremely angry.
We should never let them restart the plants at any cost.” To this, the audience applauded. During the speech by HIROSE Takashi, anti-nuclear activist, YAMAMOTO Taro, an upper-house member, reported the event from a helicopter hovering overhead. The participants waved yellow balloons to Yamamoto in response. A sense of tension, enthusiasm and solidarity was shared. People from Tomari, Oma, Takahama, Oi, Ikata and Shimane—host cities of nuclear power stations came to join the rally. (AOYAMA Harue)

原発いらんばい！～「ストップ再稼働！大集会 in 福岡」に1万5千人
6 月7日、福岡市中央区の舞鶴公園で「ストップ再稼働！大集会 in 福岡―川内原発のスイッチは押させない」が開かれ、1万5千人が参加。福島からの「原発事故被害の続くなか再稼働は信じがたい」という訴えや、川内現地か らの「住民は大きな怒りを感じている。何としても再稼働を止めましょう」という発言に大きな拍手が送られた。広瀬隆さんの発言時には、山本太郎さんリポー ターのヘリコプターが上空に出現。参加者は黄色い風船を振って応えた。夏の再稼働へ向けて、今までにない脱原発市民団体の緊張感と熱意、一体感が感じられ た気がする。泊・大間・高浜・大飯・伊方・島根など原発現地各地からも参加者が来ていた。（青山晴江）
