愛知知事リコールで署名開始　「不自由展」問題視―高須氏ら

　昨年の国際芸術祭「あいちトリエンナーレ２０１９」の企画展「表現の不自由展・その後」をめぐる大村秀章愛知県知事の対応を問題視し、美容外科「高須クリニック」の高須克弥院長が代表を務める政治団体が２５日、知事の解職請求（リコール）に向け署名活動を開始した。
　高須氏は、昭和天皇の肖像を使った創作物を燃やす映像作品などの展示に公費が支出されたことを問題視。芸術祭の実行委員会会長を務めた大村氏を批判している。高須氏は名古屋市内で記者団に「県民の税金を県民が喜ばないことに使っている。民主主義の根幹を揺るがす問題だ」と強調した。（2020/08/25-12:22）

A political group launched a campaign on Tuesday to collect signatures to recall Aichi Governor Hideaki Omura over his actions in regard to a controversial exhibition in the Aichi Triennale 2019 international art festival in central Japan.
   Katsuya Takasu, director of Takasu Clinic for cosmetic surgery, who heads the group, finds it problematic that public money was used to fund the exhibition, which featured artworks including a video in which an image of the late Japanese Emperor Hirohito, posthumously called Emperor Showa, was burned. Omura chaired the executive committee for the art festival.
   Omura used tax paid by Aichi people for something that made them unhappy, Takasu told reporters in Nagoya, the capital of Aichi Prefecture, central Japan.
   This is a "problem that shakes the foundation of democracy," Takasu said.
   The signature campaign will be conducted for two months from Tuesday.
