“If there are many women, the meeting time will be longer.”
The chairman of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee ‘Mori Yoshiro’, who caused a stir due to contempt for women, finally resigned after nine days of remarks.
But this time, I repeated excuses and blame instead of reflecting.
Correspondent Ko Hyeon-seung covered it in Tokyo.

At the urgent meeting of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee held today, President Mori officially resigned.
[모리 요시로 / 도쿄올림픽 조직위 회장]“I thought what I was with what I was with shouldn’t get in the way.”
President Mori apologized the next day after commenting on “ despising women ” on the 3rd, but the criticism came as an unthinking apology.
Volunteers and torch bearers have resigned, but the Japanese government and ruling party sparked controversy by defending former prime minister and political president Mori.
[니카이 도시히로 / 자민당 간사장]“If you want to quit, I think you can recruit and add new volunteers again.”
Finally, criticism of the IOC and the declaration of the absence of the countermeasures meeting by the governor of Tokyo, the headquarters, lost their place.
However, he repeated excuses and blames others in the resignation position.
I respected women as much as I could and made it possible for women to speak more than men (at the meeting).
I think there was a somewhat intentional report.
There was strong disgust at the accusation of ‘contamination for the elderly’, similar to ‘Kondae’ in Korean.
[모리 요시로/ 도쿄올림픽 조직위원장]“It is very unpleasant to portray an old man as bad.”
In addition, President Mori decided to appoint as his successor the former president of the Kawabuchi Football Association, a year older than him.
[가토 가쓰노부 / 관방장관]“We have no choice but to respond transparently when it comes to operations, including personnel.”
As President Mori’s successor, Seiko Hashimoto, a woman in charge of the Olympics, is being widely discussed.
The summit is difficult to hold because of Corona 19, and the Tokyo Olympics, which even today resigned as head of the organization, have 161 days left for the inauguration.
