巴西利亚，10月5日——据两位了解该提议的人士称，巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦正在考虑，若再次当选，将任命副总统热拉尔多·阿尔克明为下一任财政部长，以增强其财政信誉，并争取中间派选民的支持。此前，参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗在首轮投票中出人意料地取得领先。
BRASILIA, Oct 5 - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is considering tapping Vice President Geraldo Alckmin to be his next finance minister if re-elected, two people familiar with the proposal said, in a bid to bolster his fiscal credibility and win over centrist voters after Senator Flavio Bolsonaro beat expectations in the first-round vote.
消息人士称，根据该提议，阿尔克明将继续担任副总统，同时于明年出任财政部长，从而巩固他对经济政策的掌控权。由于相关讨论属于内部事务，这些消息人士要求匿名。目前该提议仍在讨论中。巴西总统府尚未回应置评请求。
Under the proposal, Alckmin would remain vice president while also becoming finance minister next year, cementing his authority over economic policy, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deliberations are private. The proposal is still under discussion. The Brazilian presidency did not respond to a request for comment.
阿尔克明是一位经验丰富的中间派政治家，曾在2006年挑战卢拉的总统竞选但未能成功，并曾两度担任圣保罗州州长。此外，在今年早些时候之前，他还负责卢拉政府的开发、工业和贸易部，因此自美国对巴西商品实施广泛关税以来，他一直是与华盛顿沟通的关键人物。
Alckmin, a veteran centrist, unsuccessfully challenged Lula for the presidency in 2006 and has served two terms as governor of Sao Paulo. He also ran Lula's Development, Industry and Trade Ministry until earlier this year, making him a key interlocutor with Washington since the US imposed sweeping tariffs on Brazilian goods.
阿尔克明被广泛视为卢拉政府中的温和派力量，并与商界保持着密切关系。不过，批评者认为，在卢拉本届任期中，其影响力已被多项被普遍视为向左倾的政策所掩盖。
Alckmin is widely considered a moderating force in Lula's government, with strong ties to the business community, although critics say his influence has been overshadowed in Lula's current term by policies widely seen as tilting to the left.
卢拉也曾在2022年考虑任命阿尔克明为财政部长，但最终在首轮和第二轮投票中均获胜后，选择了工人党成员费尔南多·哈达德担任该职。
Lula also considered making Alckmin his finance minister in 2022 but ultimately chose Workers' Party member Fernando Haddad as finance minister after winning in both the first and second rounds.
为寻求第四个非连续任期，卢拉在周日的首轮投票中仅获得第二名，落后于参议员博索纳罗。后者是前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗的长子，也是特朗普的盟友。这一结果与多数民意调查预测相悖，此前预测显示卢拉将以微弱优势领先。
Seeking a fourth non-consecutive term, Lula finished second on Sunday behind Senator Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Trump, in a first-round result that defied most polling forecasts, which had pointed to a narrow lead for the president.
这一结果，加上博索纳罗在国会的右翼盟友在选举中取得成功，周一引发了市场的强劲反弹，因为投资者押注博索纳罗政府更有可能在更广泛的立法支持下，更快地实现财政整顿。
The outcome, along with the electoral success of Bolsonaro's right-wing allies in Congress, sparked a strong market rally on Monday as investors bet a Bolsonaro administration would be more likely to deliver faster fiscal consolidation with broader legislative support.
自卢拉上任以来，巴西的公共债务总额已占GDP的82.9%，较之前上升了超过10个百分点。尽管通货膨胀低于历史平均水平，经济增长超出预期，失业率创历史新低，实际工资也有所增长，但这一高债务水平仍是这位左翼领导人的一个关键脆弱性。
Since Lula took office, Brazil's gross public debt has risen by more than 10 percentage points of GDP to 82.9%, a key vulnerability for the leftist leader despite inflation running below historical averages, stronger-than-expected economic growth, record-low unemployment and gains in real wages.
在周日第一轮选举结果公布后的讲话中，卢拉强调了阿尔克明对其第二轮选举策略的重要性，并表示：“鉴于阿尔克明在圣保罗州所做的一切以及我们在巴西所做的一切，这个国家没有人有资格在财政政策或财政责任方面对我或阿尔克明说教。”
In remarks after the first-round results on Sunday, Lula signaled the importance of Alckmin to his runoff strategy, declaring that "no one in this country has the moral authority to lecture me or Alckmin on fiscal policy or fiscal responsibility, given what he did in Sao Paulo state and what we did in Brazil."
消息人士称，提升阿尔克明的地位可能有助于吸引那些对财政可信度有所担忧的选民——他们不愿支持博索纳罗，但对卢拉政府日益民粹化的转向感到失望。
Elevating Alckmin could help attract voters concerned about fiscal credibility who are unwilling to back Bolsonaro but have grown disillusioned with what they see as an increasingly populist turn by Lula's government, the sources said.
