Saburo Kawabuchi (84), former president of the Japan Football Association, who was a candidate for the new presidency of the Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, attended a joint round table between the board of directors and the council on day 12., and then responded to media coverage. Then one question at a time.

– Did you know that you would be criticized internationally if you said that you would use Mr. Mori as a consultant?

“I have not become the president yet and I do not understand the various situations. Therefore, if I remain silent, you really do not want to speak, so I really do not want to speak. If so, my service The spirit does not allow That’s why these kinds of articles have been appearing more and more in broad programs. I’m sorry for Mr. Mori and the directors. Even if there are people who don’t qualify as directors, it’s not strange. “

-What do you think when you declare your rejection?

“It was supposed to be a scene. There are no words. You didn’t think it was good.”

-How do you feel about Mr. Mori?

“I don’t want to say so many things to Mr. Mori. I don’t want to hurt Mr. Mori.”

-The correct choice of president must be fairer

“The president is decided by mutual election of the directors. I am not a director. I am not qualified.”

-If so, yesterday’s comment may be strange.

“If you have a recommendation to become a director, you will be qualified as a director by the board of councilors.”

– Will the mayor of the Olympic Village continue?

“I want to continue”

-If your name is mentioned in the selection committee in the future

“It’s not a touch. I don’t think it’s going to happen.”

-It is very disappointing that the government has intervened.

“I don’t know if the government has intervened. By removing me? There were reports that the government said so, but I don’t know the details at all.”

– Did you feel bad for receiving the news this morning?

“I thought it was bad since yesterday. It is unusual to be a candidate for president although I am not the only director. It would be unpleasant if I were director of the organizing committee. What is this guy?”

-I decided to reject today

“From yesterday, I was going to say that I want you to return to a blank page.”

-What did Mr. Mori say?

“I haven’t told Mori-san. I’m a bit worried, but I think I’ll understand. I didn’t say it before the meeting.”

-Will the councilor continue?

“It doesn’t matter. The councilor will be the councilor.”

-Isn’t this flow a big mistake?

“The correct answer was that when the media rushed into my house and asked what Mr. Mori said about the candidate for president, no, he didn’t say anything. Tana. That’s something he couldn’t do since he was president of the J League, so this can’t be helped. “

-The directors around me told me to be transparent

“It is a common sense story, and you have to have a transparent meeting, a proper and open election. It was written in the newspaper in the first part, and there is transparency. I think it is the most contrary to fairness, so I interrupted and I said I’m responsible for everything. “

– Did you get an official candidate at the round table today?

“I have not come out at all. There was talk of transparency and justice in the way the selection committee should be, and I felt very hurt and rejected.”

-Mr. Mori is also responsible for transparency and fairness.

“Put Mori-san aside.”

-Last night, Mr. Muto persuaded me to go back to a blank page, and I decided to decline this morning.

“Before that, I told Mr. Muto that I wanted to make that statement because it was a bit. At night, during the day. So at night, I got some phone calls and I talked late, and I was talking about when to withdraw the blank slate. It was after 10 o’clock at night. I was angry at the time. Even though I was not selected as a candidate, all the media misunderstood me. I felt that I was responsible for what I said and I did it as well. I quit. Everything is bad for me. Everyone is bad for me. “

-What did Mr. Muto say from day to night? How to choose Mr. Mori

“I am not saying anything about Mr. Mori. I am written in the media this way. I’m afraid. I was wondering how to raise the white flag, but Mr. Muto should do this too. Mr. Muto never said that. He was somehow leading me in that direction. Isn’t he? It’s not good to talk like that. Because he has a strong spirit of service, when he talks more and more, you will take away a part of him and write it down. That’s it! Not anymore I can talk! (laughs) “
