Opposition parties are demanding resignation over the remarks of Chairman Mori of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, saying that it is a remark that damages national interests. There is a strong opinion that there is no such thing, and the difference in the positions of the ruling and opposition parties has become clear even in the Diet deliberations.
Mr. Mori, chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said last week that "the board of directors with many women will take time" and then withdrew and apologized, but volunteers who support the Games declined one after another. The ripples are spreading.
Regarding this, the opposition party is calling for immediate resignation, saying that "if a person who makes a statement contrary to the idea of the Olympic Games remains at the top of the Games organization, it will damage the national interest."
On the other hand, within the ruling party, there are a number of opinions that the remarks are inappropriate and regrettable, while the LDP executives have already withdrawn, and in less than half a year until the opening, the relationship There is a strong opinion that it is not necessary to resign, saying that it is necessary to urgently coordinate with groups and countries, and we are ready to watch over the response of the Organizing Committee.
For this reason, the opposition party has been increasingly criticizing the government and the ruling party for not urging Mr. Mori to resign, and the difference in the positions of the ruling and opposition parties has become clear even in the Diet deliberations.
