Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi speaks at a Lower House budget committee session in Tokyo on Tuesday. | JIJI By Kenji Yoshida STAFF WRITER Oct 13, 2026 Opposition lawmakers pressed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Tuesday over whether her economic policies would relieve cost-of-living burdens on households, as allegations of an election law violation leveled against a newly appointed member of her Cabinet took center stage at a Lower House budget committee hearing.
高市早苗为她刺激国内投资和临时降低食品消费税的计划进行辩护，但拒绝评估农林水产大臣矢野和夫今年早些时候的选举活动是否违反了法律。
Takaichi defended her plans to stimulate domestic investment and temporarily cut the consumption tax on food while declining to judge whether farm minister Kazuo Yana’s election campaign earlier this year had violated the law.
此次交锋发生在政府寻求议会批准一项法案之际，该法案旨在从2027年4月起将食品税率从8%降至1%，为期两年。该法案周五提交，还包含与收入挂钩的付款安排。
The exchanges came as the government seeks parliamentary approval for a bill to reduce the food tax rate from 8% to 1% for two years beginning in April 2027. The legislation, submitted Friday, also provides for income-linked payments.
