柏林,10月5日——据路透社周一看到的一份战略文件显示,德国极右翼政党“德国选择党”(AfD)的成员正主张改变该党长期以来反对德国加入欧盟和采用欧元的立场。

BERLIN, Oct 5 - Members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) are advocating a shift in the party's long-standing opposition to Germany's membership in the European Union and the euro, according to a strategy paper seen by Reuters on Monday.

此举将标志着该党一项创始原则的显著转变。该党成立于2013年,主要目的是反对欧元区救助政策,并长期主张解散货币联盟或德国退出该联盟。

The move would mark a notable change in one of the founding principles of the AfD, which was created in 2013 largely in opposition to euro zone bailout policies and has long advocated the dissolution of the currency union or Germany's exit from it.

该文件最初由《图片报》报道,主张对欧盟和欧元进行根本性改革,而非立即退出。文件称,如果这些努力失败,该党应随后呼吁就德国是否继续留在欧盟举行公投。

The paper, first reported by Bild newspaper, advocates for a fundamental overhaul of the bloc and currency instead of an immediate withdrawal. If those efforts failed, the party should then call for a referendum on Germany's membership, it said.

该文件还设想将欧盟转变为一个更松散的“主权国家联盟”,限制布鲁塞尔在国内政策制定中的作用,并允许在移民、欧盟财政和社会政策等领域实行国家退出机制。

It also envisages transforming the EU into a looser "union of sovereign nations", limiting Brussels' role in domestic policymaking and allowing national opt-outs in areas such as migration, EU finances and social policy.

该文件由来自欧洲议会、德国联邦议院(下议院)及各州议会的德国选择党议员共同起草,并于上月的一次会议上进行了讨论。明年举行的党代会将对任何对其十年政策纲领的修改进行最终批准。

The paper was produced by AfD lawmakers from the European Parliament, Germany's lower house of parliament and its state parliaments, and discussed at a meeting last month. A party convention next year would sign off on any change to its decade-old policy platform.

德国选择党欧洲事务议会发言人、欧元的长期批评者彼得·伯林格(Peter Boehringer)未立即回应置评请求。

Peter Boehringer, the AfD's parliamentary spokesman on European affairs and a long-time critic of the euro, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

自2015年大量逃离中东战争的人员涌入以来,德国选择党通过反对移民的竞选活动稳步扩大了支持基础,这一策略帮助其取得了一系列选举胜利,最近一次是在萨克森-安哈尔特州。

The AfD has steadily expanded its support by campaigning against migration following an influx of people fleeing war in the Middle East in 2015, a strategy that has helped it achieve a series of election successes, most recently in Saxony-Anhalt.

在去年全国选举中,德国选择党仅次于弗里德里希·默茨(Friedrich Merz)领导的保守派政党,位居第二。该党旨在到2029年进入联邦政府。德国主流政党拒绝与德国选择党合作,国内情报机构将该党定性为“右翼极端主义”,但该党拒绝接受这一 characterization。

The AfD, which came second in last year's national election after Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservatives, aims to enter the federal government by 2029. Germany's mainstream political parties refuse to cooperate with the AfD, which the domestic intelligence agency has branded as "right-wing extremist", a characterisation the party rejects.

该党联合领导人Alice Weidel在8月份接受ZDF广播公司采访时将欧元描述为“软货币”,但没有明确呼吁德国退出欧元。

Party co-leader Alice Weidel described the euro as a "soft currency" in an interview with broadcaster ZDF in August but stopped short of explicitly calling for Germany to quit the currency.
