Naoto Kan, March [en.rian.ru]
|
Naoto Kan had the misfortune of being Japan's prime minister when the country experienced the biggest earthquake in its history and the resulting and devastating tsunami. This led to the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl when the Fukushima reactor caught fire. A founder of the Democratic Party of Japan that swept to power in 2009, Mr Kan inherited a divided parliament, a stagnating economy and a huge public debt. These concerns weighed against him together with his perceived lack of leadership in responding to the crisis, and he later resigned.
