Even Japan's leading newspaper "Ask Suga, cancel the Olympics"

Asahi Shimbun, one of Japan's leading newspapers, insisted that the Tokyo Olympics, scheduled to open in July, should be canceled.

The Asahi Shimbun published an editorial titled ``Ask the Prime Minister for a decision to stop the Summer Tokyo Olympics'' on the 26th.

Asahi Shimbun, who is also a sponsor of the Tokyo Olympics, said in an editorial, "The spread of Corona 19 has not stopped, and it is inevitable that the re-extension of the emergency declaration issued to Tokyo, etc." I can't think."

The newspaper said it would therefore require Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to cancel the Olympic Games.

Asahi said, "The Olympics are becoming a tool for maintaining the regime and taking on elections," he stressed that the prime minister should reflect on what the original spirit of the Olympics is.
