《华尔街日报》在9月26日周六及27日周日报道了有关美国驻希腊大使金伯利·吉尔福伊尔的相关事件，引发了布加勒斯特与雅典两国的强烈反响。该美国报纸详细叙述了这位外交官据称如何向巴尔干地区的领导人施压，要求他们增加对美国液化天然气的采购。报道还提及3月份的一次晚宴，据称吉尔福伊尔在席间与希腊能源部长斯塔夫罗斯·帕帕斯塔夫鲁发生了争执。
The Wall Street Journal's reports on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, concerning Kimberly Guilfoyle, the US ambassador to Greece, have elicited strong reactions in both Bucharest and Athens. The American daily newspaper detailed how the diplomat allegedly pressured Balkan leaders to purchase more American liquefied natural gas (LNG). The WSJ described a dinner in March during which Guilfoyle was said to have had a confrontation with the Greek energy minister, Stavros Papastavrou.
虽然《华尔街日报》并未说明争执缘由，但据称大使当时提到了罗马尼亚政府即将倒台，并说道：“我们能够对任何国家这么做，在这里也能。”帕帕斯塔夫鲁则回应称，美国无法取代经由民主程序选举产生的希腊政府。尽管吉尔福伊尔的律师对这一说法予以否认，却仍未能平息由此引发的争论。
While the WSJ did not specify the reason, the ambassador reportedly mentioned the imminent fall of the Romanian government and said, "We can do that to any country we want. We can do it here." Papastavrou is said to have replied that the US could not replace the democratically elected Greek government. Guilfoyle's lawyer has disputed this account, but that was not enough to put an end to the ensuing debate.
在罗马尼亚，随着《华尔街日报》的文章指出美国在2026年5月5日社会民主党与极右翼势力联合发起的针对自由党领导人伊列·博洛扬政府的不信任投票中发挥了作用，国内政界反应迅速升温。这场政治危机持续发酵，乔治·西米翁——极右翼‘罗马尼亚人团结联盟’的领袖、社会民主党主席索林·格林德亚努以及4月底随党派退出执政联盟的前社会民主党能源部长博格丹·伊万均遭到了批评。
In Romania, political reactions have erupted since the WSJ article suggested the US played a role in the no-confidence motion passed on May 5, 2026, by the Social Democrats (PSD) and the far right against the government of liberal Ilie Bolojan of the National Liberal Party (PNL). As the political crisis drags on, criticism has been directed at George Simion, leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR); Sorin Grindeanu, head of the PSD; and former PSD energy minister Bogdan Ivan, who served until his party left the governing coalition at the end of April.
甚至有一位来自中间偏右‘拯救罗马尼亚联盟’的议员对这些政治人物提起刑事诉讼，称应‘对他们与外国势力合谋使罗马尼亚屈从并导致经济动荡的行为展开调查’。您还有76.25%的内容尚未阅读，剩余部分仅限会员浏览。
