前总统之子考验墨西哥执政党。安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·贝尔特兰加入了批评者所称可能最终损害其父亲创立的左翼运动以及继任总统的人物名单。
A Former President’s Son Poses a Test for Mexico’s Governing Party Andrés Manuel López Beltrán has joined the list of figures who, critics say, may end up harming the left-wing movement his father founded, as well as the president who succeeded him.
总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆正面临可能定义其总统任期并考验其政党遗产的问题,涉及对其党内高层人物的腐败、奢华旅行和与贩毒集团有联系的指控。
President Claudia Sheinbaum is facing questions that could define her presidency and test her party’s legacy over accusations of corruption, luxury trips and cartel ties against high-profile figures in her party.
她会在多大程度上直面将她推上权力的左翼运动内部的强大人物?一个建立在结束政治特权、腐败和权钱交易承诺之上的运动,是否会以同样的标准要求自己的成员?公开场合,辛鲍姆女士已明确表明立场。
How far will she go to confront powerful figures within the leftist movement that brought her to power? And will a movement built on promises to end political privilege, corruption and influence peddling hold its own members to those same standards? Publicly, Ms. Sheinbaum has made her position clear.
“让法律得到维护,让执法机构履行职责,让我们不允许外国干涉完全属于墨西哥人的决定,让我们以正直、诚实和体面行事,”她在8月的一次新闻发布会上说。她说,这将“使我们与过去的腐败和特权区分开来”。尽管如此,辛鲍姆女士仍面临一些人认为日益加剧的困境。这体现在安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·贝尔特兰身上,他是她党内的知名人物,也是前总统安德烈斯·曼努埃尔·洛佩斯·奥夫拉多尔的儿子。洛佩斯·贝尔特兰未被指控任何犯罪,但多次被指控腐败。
“Let the law be upheld, let law enforcement institutions do their work, let us not allow foreign interference in decisions that belong solely to Mexicans, and let us act with integrity, honesty and decency,” she said in August at a news conference. That, she said, will “distinguish us from the corruption and privilege of the past.”Still, Ms. Sheinbaum faces what some see as a growing dilemma. It is embodied by Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, a well-known figure in her party and a son of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Mr. López Beltrán has not been charged with any crime but has been repeatedly accused of corruption.
他在墨西哥政治中占据着不同寻常的位置:他不仅是前总统的儿子,也是许多人眼中那位改变了国家及其政治格局的人的继承人。他的父亲创立了左翼运动“莫雷纳”,即现在的墨西哥执政党,承诺消除特权、根除腐败,并打破他所说的让少数人致富而牺牲数百万人的政治与商业精英之间的亲密关系。
He occupies an unusual place in Mexican politics: He is not simply the son of a former president but also someone many see as the heir to the man who transformed the country and its political landscape. His father founded the left-wing movement, Morena, now Mexicos’s ruling party, on the promise to dismantle privilege, root out corruption and break the cozy ties between political and business elites that he said had enriched a few at the expense of millions.
