The head of the world s largest automaker joined other high-profile Tokyo Olympics sponsors on Wednesday in publicly criticizing the head of the country s Games committee for making sexist remarks.
Tokyo 2020 Olympics President Yoshiro Mori has incited anger at home and abroad with remarks last week that women talk too much, causing meetings to drag on. He has apologized but refused to resign. We are disappointed by the recent comments from the President of TOCOG (Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games), which are contrary to the values that Toyota respects and supports, Toyota Motor Corp President Akio Toyoda said.
Opposition parties have called for Mori's resignation, but Suga has been hesitant to criticize the organizing committee chief, who still has a large influence within the LDP.
