"The Democratic Party has certainly delayed the announcement of the reclassification of the level of severity to wait until the election, he has also lost. I demand more transparency." This message, sent on Twitter by @ pukuma, a resident of Shimane Prefecture in southern Japan, is not an isolated case.
Since Tuesday morning, charges the same type of break on the social network, used widely in the archipelago. Many Japanese want the authorities to have waited until the end of Sunday's local elections to reclassify suddenly the Fukushima nuclear accident at the same level as that of Chernobyl.
While the situation appeared stable for several days, it's only Tuesday that the Japanese Nuclear Safety Agency has raised the nuclear accident at the plant in Fukushima Dai-Ichi maximum level of 7 on the scale of nuclear events and radiological. Already on Monday the decision to expand the exclusion zone twenty miles instead of twenty around the damaged central aroused astonishment.
In Japan, the nuclear crisis is now a national political issue. Could feel what the Democratic majority, heavily punished for his handling of the crisis risky, especially in the prefecture of Tokyo. In the capital, the subject of nuclear energy has dominated the campaign, eclipsing the more local issues.
The sulfur Shintaro Ishihara, backed by the opposition Liberal Party, has been handily re-elected governor. During the campaign he has taken strong measures such as measuring the level of water contamination in Tokyo, before sipping the cameras directly to the water treatment plant. He also promised to strengthen the protection of capital against natural disasters, and made a symbolic visit to the prefecture of Miyagi, affected by the nuclear accident in Fukushima.
At its expense, the Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, has often been compared to Mr. Ishihara in the media. If the announcement to raise the level of severity had been made before Sunday's rout of the Democratic Party would certainly have been worse. GREAT CONFUSION Nearly Fukushima, Monday, the recommendation to evacuate the village of Iitate has caused great confusion, reports the AP.
Local authorities still had assured last week that 6200 people were not in danger. "They would not give strict orders to leave because they do not want to pay compensation. (. ..) I think it's a question of money, no security, "complains Kayoko Iga, who lives in the exclusion zone. Also cited by the agency, Hideo Hayashi, a subcontractor of Tepco, sighs: "I worked at the plant.
Contrary to most locals, I know about radioactivity (...). I think the government was too optimistic to avoid panic. "But on Twitter, the Government's communication appears to have caused the opposite effect:" It is clear that the government delayed the announcement because of the election.
Statements on safety were demagogic ... demagogy of the rumor. I fear that the peaceful spirit of the Japanese is not altered ", worries the Tokyoite @ IKE_SYO. Antoine Bouthier
