“Is it time to open the Olympics? Stop the Olympics right now!”

The angry voices of the people echo through the city.

People gathered to protest when IOC President Bach visited Japan on a tour of the stadium.

Participants marched around the main stadium of the Tokyo Olympics and held a rally calling for the event to be canceled.

Instead of opening the Olympics, they insisted that the budget be spent on saving lives and lives of people in need amid Corona 19.

Prime Minister Suga is showing his willingness to hold the Olympics after taking office.

The Asahi Shimbun analyzed that the intention was hidden to solidify its political base by dissolving the House of Representatives and winning elections based on the success of the Olympic Games.

In Japan, more than 10,000 new infections have emerged in the last week and the rate of increase has doubled.

There is also a growing public opinion negatively evaluating the Japanese government’s crown measures.

The voice of the Suga regime that seriously calls for the success of the Olympic Games after the third corona19 epidemic does not seem easy to win the sympathy of the public.
