Taiwanese anti-nuclear groups call on government to face nuclear issue

On April 21st, the ‘Nationwide No Nukes Yes Vote’ platform and various other anti-nuclear groups held a press conference on Ketagalan Boulevard, warning president Ma Ying-jeou's (馬英九) government not to ignore the majority opinion of Taiwanese people, who are calling for the abolishment of nuclear energy and the closure of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. The groups said that if their conditions are not met, beginning on April 22, a series of protests will be staged in Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, Chiayi, and Kaohsiung.

The groups are demanding that work on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant be halted, reactors 1-3 are slowly decommissioned, and that the government gives the power back to the people by amending the threshold of the “birdcage”Referendum Act (公民投票法). On the evening of April 22, a group of citizens gathered outside Xinwuri High Speed Rail Station to express their anti-nuclear aspirations through a sit-in protest and placards.
