Is there any Prime Minister who is indifferent to people's life and health in History? Yoshihiko Noda, the Prime Minister who restarted Ôi Nuclear Power Plant, visited Fukushima, where the nuclear accident is not over. What waited the Prime Minister was a "Go away" call and chant slogans like "Opposed to restart the nuclear power plant". In front of the prefectural government, there were women who were shouting "We want to talk to PM Noda". There's also a mother who has her children exposed to radiation. They tried to enter into the government office building but police stopped them. Mrs. Muto Reiko who was born in Miharu City in Fukushima Prefecture and the captain of the group of criminal complaint against Tepco and The Japanese Government were included. 

"For what reason did PM Noda came here? Without listening to the voice of citizens of Fukushima Prefecture, he went inside the government office building. I feel he fools us. It's insane to restart nuclear power plants. He did not recognized that the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident is an awful disaster? He tries to consider that the accident has never happened!" Mrs.Muto condemned severely the restart of Ôi Nuclear Power Plant.

A woman shouted at the prefectural government's building "Mr.Noda, you might quit being Prime Minister soon but i have to live in Fukushima with my children for all my life!"

"Mr.Noda! Fukushima is safe so please stay over here!" The vehicle of Prime Minister, without listening to the woman's wish, drove away at a furious speed from Fukushima prefectural government.
