People from all over the world rallied around the “Challenge the G8 Peace Walk” held on July 5, 2008. Each one made a statement in their own fashion. However, members of the Kansai Resion Concrete Mixer Branch of the Solidarity Union of Japan, Construction and Transport Workers, who came all the way down from Osaka to participate the rally in their concrete-mixer trucks, were turned away by the police. We hear the voice of Mr. Nishiyama, a concrete-mixer truck driver who could not participate the rally, about his feeling of chagrin from outside the spot.
