Japan’s Asahi Shimbun newspaper on Wednesday involved the Tokyo Olympics to be canceled with the games set to open in but two months.

It is the primary of Japan’s major newspapers to form the move and joins some regional newspapers that have recently added to the growing opposition to holding the Olympics.

Coming out against the Olympics might be significant since the newspaper, like many in Japan, may be a sponsor of the postponed Olympics that are to open on July 23. Asahi is usually liberal-leaning and sometimes opposes the ruling party led by Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

“We cannot think it’s rational to host the Olympics within the city this summer,” the newspaper said in its editorial under a headline that read: “We Demand PM Suga Decide Cancellation.”

“Distrust and backlash against the reckless national government, Tokyo government, and stakeholders within the Olympics are nothing but escalating,” the editorial added. “We demand Prime Minister Suga to calmly evaluate the circumstances and choose the cancellation of the summer event.”
