Hiroyuki Nishimura Criticizes Kishida Administration’s Inaction in Noto Disaster Recovery

Hiroyuki Nishimura (Hiroyuki Nishimura) updated X on April 29, and complained about the miserable situation in Noto.

Four months have passed since the earthquake in the Noto region, and yet only 9 of the 8,528 applications for publicly funded demolition of totally destroyed houses have been completed. Many houses still do not even have running water.

Can you abandon Noto as someone else’s problem when it may be your town that is next to be abandoned after a typhoon, tsunami, or earthquake disaster?

Hiroyuki visited the Noto Peninsula with “ABEMA Prime” and toured Wajima City and other areas affected by the disaster. He was accompanied by Mr. Tomoyuki Miyamoto, the managing director of Marui Orimono, a local textile company, and received explanations and other information.

The Wajima morning market, which had been damaged by fire, was in a completely untouched state. A large building was left lying on its side. Mr. Hiroyuki asked, “Why can’t the government fix it?

Why can’t the government fix it?

Hiroyuki questioned, “Why can’t the national government fix it? Mr. Miyamoto responded

Miyamoto said, “I think this is the first time that the government has taken such a cold attitude toward a single city.

Miyamoto said, “I think this is the first time the government has been so cold toward one town.

Later, when we visited Wajima Municipal Junior High School, we found the tennis courts and other facilities in a state of disrepair, but classes were still going on in the classrooms. The students shouted yellow at Hiroyuki’s sudden visit. When asked for his autograph, Hiroyuki wrote on the blackboard

Hiroyuki ♡♡” on the blackboard.

on the blackboard, drawing cheers from the students.
