Hashimoto controversy over’forced kiss’ at the chairman of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee

–

(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Kim Ho-joon = Former Japanese government Olympic supervisor Seiko Hashimoto, who was caught in the controversy over the’forced kiss’ in the past, was elected to the chairman of the new Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee.

The organizing committee held a board meeting that day and elected Hashimoto as the replacement of former chairman Yoshiro Mori, who resigned on the 12th due to a remark of’contempt for women,’ Kyodo News reported.

The new chairman Hashimoto said at the board of directors, “We will have a system that can be considered as a safety and security Tokyo Games,” and “I will work hard for the success of the Tokyo Games.”

The’Candidate Review Committee’, which was previously established by the organizing committee to select the next chairman, requested the inauguration of Hashimoto’s Prime Minister, and Hashimoto’s said his intention to accept it.

According to the organizing committee’s articles of association, the chairman is to be elected by the board of directors.

Accordingly, Hashimoto was officially decided as chairman by the board of directors after going through the procedure of being elected as a director of the organizing committee at the council of the organizing committee that afternoon.

In addition, since the Japanese government’s ministers cannot serve as public interest corporations such as the organizing committee, they had to resign the Olympic Prize to take office as chairman of the organizing committee.

Accordingly, Hashimoto met Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga at the Prime Minister’s residence on the same day and submitted a letter of resignation.

Accordingly, the Japanese government decided Hashimoto’s resignation through a legislative resolution. On this day, unlike regular ceremonies, the agenda was turned to the ministers and decided.

The successor to the Olympics was decided as a female member of the House of Councilors Marukawa Tamayo.

The reason that the procedure related to the election of Chairman Hashimoto on this day went unhurriedly because it was judged that the position of chief executive officer of the organizing committee could not be left for a long time five months before the Tokyo Olympics.

In addition, there seems to be an intention to end the election process before further controversy over Hashimoto’s past inappropriate behavior spreads.

Hashimoto has been criticized after the closing ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, when he hugged and kissed a male figure skater Daisuke Takahashi at a party at the athlete’s village.

Since he was the chairman of the Japan Skating Federation at the time, it was pointed out that he was a de facto sexual violence using his dominant position.

In the latest issue (February 25) released the day before, “Shukanbunshun”, who reported on the occasion, further revealed his force of kissing through an article titled “Seiko Hashimoto is a sexual harassment perpetrator”.

Several photos of Hashimoto hugging and kissing a presumed Takahashi person were posted on Twitter in Japan.

Chairman Hashimoto is a former athlete who won a bronze medal by competing in the women’s 1,500m at the Albertville Winter Olympics in 1992.

He was first elected as a member of the House of Councilors in 1995, served as a vice-deputy member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and chairman of the House of Councilors, and was inaugurated as the Olympic Officer in September 2019.
