在总统大选前夕，巴西总检察长要求对一项据称由美国政府资助、旨在影响联邦最高法院决策的计划展开调查。
Brazil's attorney general has requested an investigation into an alleged US government funding program that targeted the Supreme Federal Court (STF), days before the presidential election.
总检察长若热·梅西亚斯周四表示，任何企图干涉巴西体制或影响选民决策的外国政治势力都是不可容忍的。这一要求是在《卫报》报道特朗普政府计划拨款支持反对最高法院的运动之后提出的。
Attorney General Jorge Messias said on Thursday that foreign political interests seeking to interfere in Brazilian institutions or influence decisions belonging to Brazilian voters "cannot be tolerated." The request followed a report by The Guardian newspaper that the administration of US President Donald Trump planned to direct funds toward a campaign opposing the top court.
报道称，美国已拨款100万美元用于实施名为“抵制巴西的法律滥用与审查制度”的项目，旨在协助民间团体反对最高法院的司法越权与审查行为。
The report said a $1 million US grant was allocated to a "Countering Lawfare and Censorship in Brazil" project to support civil society groups opposing judicial overreach and censorship by the court.
梅西亚斯称该计划是“对巴西主权的重要警示”，并指出由于正值选举时期，此事尤为敏感。总检察长办公室已要求联邦警察与联邦检察官彻查这笔资金的来源、流向及用途，以判定其是否构成外国对巴西政治或选举进程的干涉。
Messias described the reported initiative as "an important alert for Brazilian sovereignty" and said the issue was particularly sensitive because of the electoral process. The attorney general's office asked the Federal Police and federal prosecutors to examine the origin, destination and purpose of the funds, and determine whether they could constitute foreign interference in Brazil's political or electoral process.
据《卫报》披露，这笔100万美元的拨款属于美国国务院人权基金为全球各类项目提供的1.75亿美元资助计划的一部分。
The reported $1 million grant is part of a broader package of more than $175 million from a US State Department human rights fund for projects worldwide, according to The Guardian.
当前，前总统博索纳罗的支持者与最高法院之间关系紧张，尤其是与亚历山大·德莫赖斯大法官的矛盾更为突出。博索纳罗因试图推翻2022年大选结果已被判处27年监禁。
The project comes amid tensions between supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro and the Supreme Court, particularly Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison after he was convicted of attempting to overturn the result of the 2022 presidential election.
本周日巴西将举行总统选举，现任总统卢拉谋求连任，其子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗也是候选人之一。目前美国尚未公开证实相关资金确实用于干预选举。
Brazil is set to hold a presidential election on Sunday, with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva seeking another term. Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, is among the candidates. The US has not publicly confirmed that the reported funding was intended to interfere in the election.
