On January 4, 2017, the movement of the “Anti-Nuke
Tent in front of the METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)” started
with the usual rice cake pounding. When some tent staffs started pounding,
several police officers repeatedly told them, “No, stop it”. However, while
negotiations between them continued, rice cakes were ready. More than 50
persons gathered at the street vendor-like ambience in front of the ministry to
enjoy various kinds of rice cakes and pork miso soup. FUCHIGAMI Taro, leader of
the Anti-Nuke Tent, said, “There are full of problems with the restart of
nuclear power plants. The serious contradiction of spent nuclear fuel that has
nowhere to go is becoming more and more obvious. Nuclear power generation has
already lost economic rationality. Even some government employees doubt it. We
would like to strengthen our campaign to urge the government to denuclearize”. A
sit-in continues in front of the ministry on weekdays between noon and 6pm. The
METI can never escape from the people’s demand for denuclearization this year,
either. (M)

「経産省は大嘘つき、我々は餅つき」～脱原発テントの運動がスタート
2017年1月4日昼、「経産省前テントひろば」の運動は、恒例の餅つきから始まった。臼でつき始めると6～7人の警察官がやってきて「ダメだ、止めろ」の一点張り。その交渉の合間を縫ってあっというまに2臼の餅つきが終わった。経産省前は屋台風になり、きなこ餅やあんこ餅、豚汁を賞味する人たち約50人以上で賑わった。チラシ撒きの人は、「経産省は大嘘つき、我々は餅つき」と声を上げていた。テントひろばの渕上太郎代表に話を聞いた。「再稼働は問題だらけ。使用済核燃料の行き場がない大矛盾が露骨になってきた。経済的にも合理性を失っている。政府内にもおかしいと思う人はいる。国の脱原発の決断を促すために、もう一押し二押し頑張りたい」と語った。経産省前座り込みは、今後平日12時から18時の時間帯で連日取り組まれる。経産省は今年も、脱原発を願う人々の声から逃げることはできない。（M）
