玻利维亚日益严峻的安全挑战，正在成为唐纳德·特朗普总统提出的“美洲盾牌”计划的首批现实检验之一。该国国防部长在接受福克斯新闻数字网采访时表示，随着安全部队部署到战略要地，政府正为可能再次发生的动乱作准备。
Bolivia’s mounting security challenge is emerging as one of the first real-world tests of President Donald Trump’s Shield of the Americas the country’s defense minister told Fox News Digital, as security forces deploy to strategic locations and the government braces for renewed unrest. "I believe this is one of the first real tests of whether Shield of the Americas can move from declarations to concrete results," Bolivian Defense Minister Ernesto Justiniano told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
“我认为，这是‘美洲盾牌’能否从一纸声明走向具体成果的首批现实检验之一。”玻利维亚国防部长埃内斯托·胡斯蒂尼亚诺在接受福克斯新闻数字网独家采访时说。
But Justiniano stressed that Bolivia is not declaring that a coup attempt is underway. "I am not saying today that we have proven evidence of a specific operation currently underway to overthrow the President," he said.
不过，胡斯蒂尼亚诺强调，玻利维亚并未宣布一场政变企图正在进行。“我今天并不是说，我们已经掌握确凿证据，证明目前正在实施一项旨在推翻总统的具体行动，”他说，“但我们确实看到了一些非常严重的前例和警示信号，这些情况足以说明有必要采取预防措施。”特朗普于3月在佛罗里达举行的峰会上启动“美洲盾牌”计划，汇聚西半球各国政府，推动深化经济与安全合作，包括打击跨国犯罪的努力。
"What we do have are very serious precedents and warning signs that justify preventive action." Trump launched Shield of the Americas at a March summit in Florida, bringing together governments across the Western Hemisphere to deepen economic and security cooperation, including efforts to combat transnational crime. TRUMP ADMIN BACKS BOLIVIA STATE OF EMERGENCY AS LEFTIST EX-LEADER'S LOYALISTS FRACTURE NATION Justiniano's comments come as President Rodrigo Paz’s government attempts to prevent a repeat of more than 50 days of road blockades earlier this year that caused shortages of food, fuel and medicine and deepened the country’s economic crisis.
特朗普政府支持玻利维亚实施紧急状态之际，左翼前领导人的支持者令国家陷入分裂胡斯蒂尼亚诺发表上述言论之际，总统罗德里戈·帕斯的政府正试图防止今年早些时候持续50多天的路障封锁重演。此前，封锁造成食品、燃料和药品短缺，并加剧了该国的经济危机。9月17日，玻利维亚议会批准将全国紧急状态延长90天，理由是再次爆发封锁的风险仍然存在。一些反对派议员和社会团体批评这一措施，称其未能解决引发动乱的根本原因。
On Sept. 17, Bolivia’s Assembly approved a 90-day extension of the country’s state of emergency, citing persistent risks of renewed blockades. Some opposition lawmakers and social groups criticized the measure, arguing that it failed to address the underlying causes of the unrest. A U.S. official told Fox News Digital that, "The United States is unwavering in its commitment to support Bolivia’s democracy and the Paz Administration as it rebuilds the country after 20 years of failed socialist policies. The Trump Administration will continue to stand with Bolivia as it works toward stability, security, and a better future for all Bolivians."
一名美国官员告诉福克斯新闻数字平台：“美国坚定不移地致力于支持玻利维亚的民主和帕斯政府，帮助该国在20年失败的社会主义政策之后重建。特朗普政府将继续与玻利维亚站在一起，支持该国努力实现稳定、安全以及所有玻利维亚人的更美好未来。”
"The threat is serious enough for us to take preventive measures, but I do not want to portray a government that is under siege or weak," Justiniano said. "There is one fundamental difference: Bolivia learned… We do not confuse legitimate social discontent with a threat to democracy. People may agree or disagree with our economic policies.
贾斯蒂尼亚诺说：“威胁已经严重到足以让我们采取预防措施，但我不想让人觉得政府正受到围攻或非常虚弱。这里存在一个根本区别：玻利维亚学到了……我们不会把合法的社会不满与对民主的威胁混为一谈 人们可以游行、抗议并挑战政府，这就是民主。非民主的做法是试图通过暴力、无限期封锁或威胁宪政秩序来强加决定。”这位国防部长证实，警察和军方力量已在全国各地采取预防性部署。
They can march, protest and challenge the government. That is democracy. What is not democratic is trying to impose a decision through violence, indefinite blockades or threats against the constitutional order." The defense minister confirmed that police and military forces have already been deployed preventively around the country.
“‘自由浪潮’席卷拉丁美洲，特朗普盟友将斗争矛头对准马克思主义恐怖组织” “全国不同地区都已进行预防性部署，特别是在战略通道、通往主要城市的入口，以及对人员自由流动、补给线和关键基础设施保护而言较为敏感的地点，”贾斯蒂尼亚诺说。

他拒绝透露确切地点、兵力数量或部队调动情况，称部署规模将根据风险程度作出调整。
He declined to provide exact locations, troop numbers or unit movements, saying the scale of the deployment would change according to the level of risk.
当前局势的发展距特朗普于9月22日在联合国大会期间为参加“美洲盾牌”倡议的领导人举行会晤仅数日。白宫将这一倡议描述为一个专注于西半球经济和国家安全的联盟。
The unfolding situation comes just days after Trump hosted leaders participating in Shield of the Americas on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Sept. 22. The White House has described the initiative as an alliance focused on economic and national security in the Western Hemisphere.
白宫：帕斯总统：玻利维亚已拒绝社会主义，并愿开放合作。美国国务院发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字平台：“美国珍视与作为‘美洲之盾’参与国的玻利维亚之间的密切伙伴关系，以推动经济增长，并应对腐败和跨国犯罪带来的安全挑战。”
The White House PRESIDENT PAZ: BOLIVIA HAS REJECTED SOCIALISM AND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital that "the United States values its close partnership with Bolivia, a Shield of the Americas participant, to advance economic growth and solve the security challenges posed by corruption and transnational crime."
“帕斯总统挺过了53天的封锁，以及旨在动摇其总统地位的暴力企图，”发言人说，“作为该国民选领导人，我们支持其政府持续修复玻利维亚经济。长期以来，埃沃·莫拉莱斯的‘走向社会主义运动’（MAS）党治腐乏力，导致经济问题积重难返，这一状况已持续20多年。”
"President Paz survived 53 days of blockades and violent attempts to undermine his presidency," the spokesperson said. "As the country’s elected leader, we support his administration’s ongoing work to repair Bolivia’s economy after more than 20 years of corrupt mismanagement by Evo Morales’s Movement towards Socialism (MAS) party."
美国国务院还表示，9月28日宣布的签证限制针对的是一些玻利维亚公民。华盛顿称，这些人在破坏“帕斯总统及其政府正在取得的安全与治理进展”。国务院补充说，这些措施“加强而非削弱我们的合作”。据美联社报道，特朗普政府撤销了玻利维亚、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁共27名现任及前任官员及其亲属的签证。受影响者包括玻利维亚总检察长罗杰·马里亚卡，美国国务院指控他腐败并协助毒品贩运。马里亚卡否认了这些指控。
The State Department also said visa restrictions announced Sept. 28 targeted Bolivian nationals whom Washington says are undermining "the security and governance progress President Paz and his administration are achieving," adding that the actions "reinforce, not undercut, our cooperation." The Trump administration revoked visas for 27 officials, former officials and relatives across Bolivia, Colombia Ecuador and Peru, according to the Associated Press. Among those affected was Bolivian Prosecutor General Roger Mariaca, whom the State Department accused of corruption and facilitating narcotrafficking. Mariaca has rejected the allegations.
贾斯蒂利亚诺说，玻利维亚已正式提出请求，要求获取美方采取行动所依据的信息。
Justiniano said Bolivia has formally requested the information underlying the U.S. action.
他说：“玻利维亚总检察长罗杰·马里亚卡的案件尤为严重，因为美国政府已公开提出涉及腐败和协助毒品贩运的具体指控。”
"The case of Bolivia’s Prosecutor General, Roger Mariaca, is particularly serious because the U.S. government has publicly made specific allegations involving corruption and the facilitation of drug trafficking," he said.
但国防部长警告，不应将受签证限制措施影响的人与当前动乱直接联系起来。贾斯蒂尼亚诺说：“如果我断然声称所有受这些措施影响的人都与当前动员有关，这是不负责任的。”“我们没有公开证据可以支持这种笼统判断。”当被问及华盛顿正如何应对当前威胁提供援助时，贾斯蒂尼亚诺拒绝透露美国是否在提供行动情报或其他直接协助。
But the defense minister cautioned against drawing a direct connection between those affected by the visa restrictions and the current unrest. "It would be irresponsible for me to automatically state that everyone affected by those measures is connected to the current mobilizations," Justiniano said. "We do not have public evidence that would justify that generalization." Asked what assistance Washington is providing in response to the current threat, Justiniano declined to say whether the U.S. was supplying operational intelligence or other direct assistance.
独家：帕特尔加大海外拓展力度，FBI引渡数量激增，誓言“零庇护”“我可以说的是，玻利维亚希望深化这种合作，”他说。
EXCLUSIVE: FBI EXTRADITIONS SOAR AS PATEL RAMPS UP FOREIGN OUTREACH, VOWS 'NO SANCTUARY' "What I can say is that Bolivia wants to deepen this cooperation," he said.
贾斯蒂尼亚诺表示，玻利维亚正寻求与美国在信息共享、金融情报、反毒品、有组织犯罪、边境安全、引渡、培训和机构能力建设等方面加强合作。
Justiniano said Bolivia is seeking closer cooperation with the United States on information sharing, financial intelligence, counter-narcotics, organized crime, border security, extraditions, training and institutional strengthening.
这种推动在上周已初显端倪。玻利维亚总统府部长费尔南多·阿拉马约上周在联合国大会期间接受《福克斯新闻》数字频道采访时表示，帕斯政府将打击有组织犯罪的斗争视为更广泛地区挑战的一部分。
That push was already evident last week, when Bolivian Minister of the Presidency Fernando Aramayo told Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that the Paz government views its struggle against organized crime as part of a wider regional challenge.
“我们承认，要求政府作出回应的抗议和示威具有正当性，”阿拉马约说。“我们目前打击的，是所有由毒品贩运资金提供支持、由国际犯罪组织策划的针对我们民主制度的袭击。”
"We recognize the legitimacy of protests and demonstrations that demand responses from the government," Aramayo said. "What we are attacking right now is all the attacks against our democracy that have been financed by narco-traffic money and organized international crime."
阿拉马约说，政府得到了华盛顿的支持。“在这场打击这些黑暗势力的斗争中，白宫一直支持我们和其他国家，”他说，并补充说，玻利维亚“非常荣幸能成为‘美洲盾牌’这一机制的一部分”。当被问及国家行为体是否也参与煽动动荡时，阿拉马约说，在过去二十年里，腐败和有组织犯罪已深深扎根，并声称，各机构、社会和政治领导人以及私营部门行为体都与跨国犯罪组织产生了牵连。
Aramayo said the government had received support from Washington. "The White House has supported us and other countries in this fight against these dark forces," he said, adding that Bolivia was "very proud of being part of this mechanism like the Shield of Americas." Asked whether state actors were also involved in fueling the unrest, Aramayo said corruption and organized crime had become deeply embedded during the previous two decades, claiming that institutions, social and political leaders and private-sector actors had become entangled with transnational criminal organizations.
胡斯蒂尼亚诺强调，军事部署并非旨在压制和平示威，并表示，维护公共秩序的首要责任仍由警方承担。“我们是在防范一种风险，并不是宣布政变正在发生，”他说。
Justiniano stressed that the military deployments are not intended to suppress peaceful demonstrations and said police retain primary responsibility for public order. "We are preparing for a risk, not declaring that a coup is underway," he said.
这种区分触及“美洲盾牌”所面临挑战的核心：当一个成员国政府声称这些犯罪网络与国内政治动荡相互交织时，一个部分为打击贩毒集团和跨国有组织犯罪而建立的区域倡议应如何运作。
The distinction goes to the heart of the challenge confronting Shield of the Americas: how a regional initiative built in part to combat cartels and transnational organized crime operates when a member government says those networks are intersecting with domestic political unrest.
