Governor Satake of Akita demands resignation of Chairman Mori “Story of the Edo period” –Society: Nikkan Sports

On the 5th, Governor Norihisa Satake of Akita Prefecture demanded the resignation of Yoshiro Mori, chairman of the Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, who made statements that looked down on women.

“It’s like the story of the Edo period, and it’s a bad impression internationally. You should take the plunge and change the chairman,” he told reporters in the prefectural office.

Mr. Satake was worried that “the remarks go against the spirit of the Olympics. Some countries may boycott.” (Joint)
