“I have to wait quietly for the fire to go out.”
Yoshiro Mori (83), chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said he leaked it to the people around him after the interview on “discrimination against women.”
Mr. Mori’s statements have been criticized not only in Japan but also around the world. Ryoichi Kasuga, a sports consultant who was an advisor to the JOC Department of International Affairs and was involved in the bid for the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998, said: “You should resign. Otherwise, the Tokyo Olympics will be in danger”.

“Mori’s comments are not aware of being sent out to the world. Japan is considered to have little international awareness of gender issues. The head of the Olympic Organizing Committee of such a country made a statement that he despised women.
Women and athletes from the Olympic Committees of each country have already expressed protests. President Mori’s statements have reduced the value of hosting the Olympics in Tokyo. If we don’t change presidents, the world will not be convinced and even the authority of the IOC may be undermined. “
Mori himself said in an interview with the “Hokkoku Shimbun” in his hometown of Ishikawa prefecture.
“I thought he would resign (after the comments), but Secretary General Toshiro Mutou and Acting President Toshiaki Endo urged me to change my mind.”
“I left home telling my wife to quit.”
But why should Mr. Mori remain president even if people around the world ridicule him? Hence the desire to use Mr. Yoshihide Suga (72), Mr. Mori.
“The Olympic Games involve not only the IOC but also the interests of many organizations, such as multiple government agencies and sports competition groups. Although negotiations are still needed due to crown disease, the event is less than half a year away. And now We are involved with the “new president” from scratch. I can’t afford to do it.
In addition, an official at the official residence said: “If Mr. Mori resigns here, it will be very difficult to hold the Olympics,” but Prime Minister Suga is also concerned that public opinion will be inclined to cancel the Games. Whether or not the Olympics are held will definitely affect the general dissolution elections before the fall of 2021. “
I am amazed at the misrepresentation of the “fugitive old man”, but I also want to bow my head towards the “humanity” of Prime Minister Suga, who carries Mr. Mori. A member of the Liberal Democratic Party of the Liberal Democratic Party said:
“Mr. Mori was the first in the political world to announce his candidacy for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. For many years, he has been a ‘face’ for connecting political and sports groups at home and abroad.
Mori-san looks good in her boss’s skin. While accepting requests from many legislators, secretaries, and bureaucrats, I have been drinking and eating. There are many people in Nagatacho who were treated.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Suga, who has a long non-faction, rarely does that. Even if the criticism of public opinion focuses on Mr. Mori, there is no reason to justify it, and I think he is quite grateful to say: “The tip of the spear turned to that.”
Prime Minister Suga, who ended the question at the Diet on the 5th immediately after Mr. Mori’s “discrimination against women”, told his aides.
“Well ginger is not like that.”
Is there any intention of using Mr. Mori as a shield to deflect criticism from the administration, which is increasing day by day? Koichi Kakutani, political journalist, notes:
“It is the same as handing over the public relations for the new crown measures to Mr. Yasutoshi Nishimura and leaving the development of the vaccination system to Mr. Taro Kono. By taking the attitude of” If Mr. Mori wants to continue “, my own I want to avoid responsibility. “
The modern Olympic Games have been influenced by politics. The tragedy repeats itself.
