约翰·莱斯特 巴黎——法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科尔尼与极左翼领导人让-吕克·梅朗雄周一就高中生的行动发生冲突。这些学生正在封锁课堂,并推动其新兴的抗议运动在全国范围内蔓延,以争取更多资源。
JOHN LEICESTER PARIS — French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu clashed with far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Monday over the actions of high school students who are blockading classes and pushing for a nationwide spread of their fledgling protest movement for more resources.
勒科尔尼与总统职位有力竞争者梅朗雄在社交媒体帖子中的交锋,反映出明年春季关键总统选举前日益好斗的政治氛围,以及围绕法国财政日益加大的压力。
The exchanges in posts on social media between Lecornu and top presidential contender Mélenchon reflected the increasingly combative political climate ahead of a crucial presidential election next spring and amid mounting pressure over France’s finances.
各意识形态阵营的政治人物都在寻找能引起选民共鸣的议题。学生对学校状况恶化、教师短缺和课业繁重的抱怨,已成为一些总统候选人最新抓住的诉求。
Politicians across the ideological spectrum are seeking issues that resonate with voters. Complaints from students about deteriorating schools, teacher shortages and heavy class schedules have become the latest cause embraced by some presidential hopefuls.
与此同时,勒科尔尼正试图争取足够的公众和政治支持,以便在分裂的议会中通过2027年国家预算。在议会中,总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的政府正受到反对者的围攻,其中许多人拒绝接受拟议的支出削减,而与此同时,飙升的能源成本和其他开支正挤压家庭。
Lecornu, meanwhile, is trying to build enough public and political support to pass a 2027 state budget through a divided parliament, where President Emmanuel Macron ‘s government is besieged by opponents, many of whom are unwilling to accept proposed spending cuts while soaring energy costs and other expenses squeeze households.
75岁的梅朗雄是一位资深反资本主义煽动者,在2022年总统选举中排名第三,在2017年和2012年均为第四。这位前参议员希望能在4月18日首轮投票中晋级,并获得5月2日决选资格。年轻选民可能是他机会的关键。根据宪法,马克龙不得寻求第三个连续任期。
Mélenchon, 75, a veteran anti-capitalist firebrand, finished third in the 2022 presidential election and fourth in both 2017 and 2012. The former senator hopes to advance beyond the first round of voting on April 18 and qualify for the May 2 run-off. Younger voters could be key for his chances. Macron is constitutionally barred from seeking a third consecutive term.
周一,在勒科尔尼指责梅朗雄所属极左翼“不屈法国”党官员鼓励这些零散示威活动后,梅朗雄为学校抗议者进行了辩护。
Mélenchon defended the school protesters on Monday after Lecornu accused officials from his far-left France Unbowed party of encouraging the scattered demonstrations.
上周,巴黎地区多所学校爆发抗议活动,导致多人被捕,并蔓延至其他地区。在南部滨海阿尔卑斯省,地区政府表示,警方周一逮捕了10名高中生,指控他们纵火、投掷投射物及实施其他暴力行为,导致两名学生受伤。
The protests erupted at schools in the Paris area last week, leading to arrests, and spread to other regions. In the southern Alpes-Maritimes region, police arrested 10 high school students on Monday on allegations of setting fires, throwing projectiles and committing other violent acts that injured two students, the regional government said.
梅朗雄指责勒科尔尼政府以“残暴”手段镇压学生,并带有“明显的种族主义色彩”。
Mélenchon accused Lecornu’s government of repressing students with “ferocity” and “an unmistakably racist undertone.”
“不要碰我们的年轻人,”他发文写道,并呼吁“不屈法国”的支持者“在力所能及之处”参与其中。勒科尔尼回应称,种族主义指控“是一种侮辱”。
“Don’t touch our young people,” he posted, urging France Unbowed supporters to become involved “wherever you can.” Lecornu responded that the racism accusation “is an insult.”
“学生有权获得安全。教职员工有权受到保护。警察在履行职责时有权获得尊重,”他写道。“谴责暴力以及那些攻击高中生的人,对你来说应该比抹黑保护他们的人更省力。应该比煽风点火更容易。”
“Students have a right to safety. Staff have a right to protection. Police officers have a right to respect when carrying out their duties,” he wrote. “Condemning the violence and those who attack high school students should require less effort from you than smearing those who protect them. It should be easier than fanning the flames.”
