Subject: Japanese medical system collapsing !
Dear Friends,
I am sending you my message addressed to President Thomas Bach of the
IOC. Japanese civil society firmly believes it is totally irresponsible
to continue to be attached to holding the Tokyo Olympic Games as
planned next summer.
The Japanese are shocked by the aggravation of the Covid-19 Corona
crisis in Japan, the number of infections renewing the records day
after day.
The final decision is ardently awaited.
The future and the honor of the Olympic Games are at stake.
With warmest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
(My message addressed to President Bach)
Dear President Thomas Bach,
Please allow me to inform you of the seriously aggravating Covid-19
crisis in Japan, almost causing the collapse of the medical system.
The Japanese people have started criticizing the huge amount of
additional expense needed for the holding the Tokyo Olympic Games.
The "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" dated December 26 has published the attached
article written by Mr. Shuichi Yasuda, famous football captain. It
pleads for starting a public debate about the merits and the demerits
of holding the Tokyo Olympic Games as scheduled. He insinuates his
opposition in the article.
With highest regards,
Mitsuhei Murata
Former Japanese Ambassador to Switzerland
