法国调查性新闻网站 Mediapart 周四宣布,他们已经证实了这些据称由极右翼政治家乔丹·巴尔德拉(Jordan Bardella)在 2013 年发送的反犹太主义言论的真实性。巴尔德拉否认自己撰写了这些言论,并表示将起诉 Mediapart,指控其诽谤和伪造证据。这些指控发生在法国总统大选前的七个月,当时玛丽娜·勒庞(Marine Le Pen)在民意调查中处于领先地位。
French investigative outlet Mediapart said on Thursday it had authenticated antisemitic messages allegedly sent by far-right politician Jordan Bardella in 2013. Bardella denied writing them and said he would sue for defamation and forgery. The allegations come seven months before France’s presidential election, with Marine Le Pen leading opinion polls. A French investigative journalism website said Thursday it had been able to authenticate antisemitic messages from 2013 attributed to far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen's de facto deputy.
这些针对乔丹·巴尔德拉的指控距离大选仅有七个月的时间;届时选民将选出埃马纽埃尔·马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)的继任者,而勒庞在民意调查中仍保持领先地位。
The allegations against Jordan Bardella come just seven months out from the election where voters will choose a replacement for President Emmanuel Macron, with Le Pen leading opinion polls.
31 岁的巴尔德拉强烈否认自己撰写了这些言论,并表示将起诉 Mediapart,指控其诽谤、伪造证据以及滥用伪造材料。Mediapart 公布了据称巴尔德拉在 2013 年通过 Facebook 的 Messenger 聊天平台发送给他人的反犹太主义言论的截图。该网站称,聊天记录中的个人信息(如巴尔德拉的母亲出生于意大利、他曾在 2013 年接受《巴黎人报》(Le Parisien)采访的记录,以及他未能通过巴黎政治学院(Sciences Po)的入学考试等细节)都证明了这些言论确实出自巴尔德拉之手。
Bardella, 31, has strongly denied writing the messages and on Thursday said he would file a legal case againstthe Mediapart outlet for defamation, as well as "forgery and use of forgeries". Mediapart published screenshots of the antisemitic messages Bardella is said to have sent to another person on Facebook's Messenger chat platform in 2013. The outlet said biographical details revealed in the conversations prove that it was the real Bardella: a mother born in Italy, mention of an interview he gave to Le Parisien in 2013, and failing the entrance exam for the prestigious Sciences Po university.
Mediapart 表示:“通过分析这些聊天记录的内容,我们可以确认这些言论确实来自真实的乔丹·巴尔德拉;同时,我们也证实了聊天记录在事后没有被篡改,且对方用户的身份在 Meta/Facebook 系统中也被登记为‘乔丹·巴尔德拉’。”巴尔德拉谴责 Mediapart 所提供的“伪证据”,称这些证据“纯属捏造,只是经过处理的截图,其中重复了一些令人反感的言论,而这些言论显然并非他本人所说”。
"Extracting the conversation makes it possible to date it, to certify that this conversation was not altered after the fact, and to confirm that the person on the other end is listed by Meta/Facebook under the name Jordan Bardella," Mediapart said. "Analysing its content makes it possible to verify that it is indeed the real Jordan Bardella." Bardella denounced what he called Mediapart's "pseudo-evidence" as "crude fabrications, obscure and easily manipulated screenshots, repeating revolting remarks that I obviously never made".
勒庞反击称:如果勒庞在明年的选举中获胜,巴尔德拉很可能会成为总理;而这一丑闻可能会破坏她为让自己的政党(国民联盟,RN)更受选民欢迎而推行的“去负面形象化”策略。
Le Pen hits back Bardella is expected to become prime minister if Le Pen wins next year's election, and the affair threatens to damage her "de-demonisation" project to make her National Rally (RN) party more palatable to voters.
勒庞目前的支持率非常高,这位58岁的女性强烈支持巴尔德拉——巴尔德拉为该政党在年轻选民中的影响力提升做出了重要贡献。
She is riding high in the polls, and the 58-year-old has strongly defended Bardella, who has helped the party make inroads among younger voters.
她的竞争对手、前总理爱德华·菲利普表示,根据Mediapart网站公布的新证据,“几乎可以确定”巴尔德拉曾发表过具有明显反犹太主义性质的言论。
Rival presidential candidate and former prime minister Edouard Philippe said that in light of the new evidencefrom Mediapart "it is virtually established" that Bardella made remarks "of an obviously and scandalously antisemitic nature".
Mediapart网站于周一公布了这些有争议的言论,这些言论可以追溯到巴尔德拉还是该政党年轻活动家的时候。
Mediapart on Monday published the contested messages, dating back to when Bardella was a young party activist.
在第四次竞选总统的过程中,勒庞表示对巴尔德拉“充满信心”,并谴责那些针对她政党的攻击行为。
Le Pen has voiced her "total confidence" in Bardella and denounced a "total war" against her party as she makes a fourth attempt to win the presidency.
周一的一项民意调查显示,勒庞在明年的第一轮选举中将轻松领先,并能在第二轮决选中击败任何竞争对手。
A poll on Monday suggested she would easily lead the first round of next year's election and go on to defeat any challenger in the second round run-off.
