高市早苗，“正接受治疗”

据环球时报援引日本经济新闻2月1日报道，日本首相高市早苗1日突然临时缺席原定于当天早上播出的一档日本广播协会（NHK）政论节目，该节目转述自民党说法称，“首相昨在街头游说行程中伤到手臂，目前正在接受治疗”，因此无法如期出席。

Citing arm injury, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Sunday canceled at the last minute her planned appearance on a live party leaders' debate aired by public broadcaster NHK, drawing widespread criticism from opposition parties.

Norihisa Tamura, executive acting chairperson for Policy Research Council of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), replaced Takaichi and appeared on the program. He said that Takaichi likely strained her arm through repeated handshakes and constant movement on the campaign trail, making her unable to appear on the show.

目前，正值日本各党派拉票竞选的关键时刻。1月19日，高市早苗在首相官邸举行记者会宣布，将于1月23日正式解散众议院，并于2月8日举行大选。

报道称，高市早苗的缺席引发在野党质疑。日本在野党令和新选组代表大石晃子在节目中称，她原本想在当天的节目中直接向高市本人确认，是否曾接受“世界和平统一家庭联合会”（前“统一教”）的政治募款。

Akiko Oishi, co-president of Reiwa Shinsengumi, also criticized the move, noting that recent Japanese media reports alleged that groups linked to the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, formerly known as the Unification Church, had provided funds to an LDP branch associated with Takaichi through the purchase of political fundraising party tickets.

Oishi said she had planned to question Takaichi directly on the matter during the program but was unable to do so due to her absence, and called on the prime minister to "offer an explanation to the public before voting day".

据韩联社及日本《周刊文春》此前披露，名为“真母亲特别报告”的“统一教”内部文件，详细记录了该邪教组织介入日本政治与选举的相关情况，其中多达32次提及现任日本首相高市早苗。
