雅加达:印度尼西亚宪法法院将于周二晚间(10月6日)对一起案件做出裁决,该案件试图废除副总统纪伯伦·拉卡布明拉卡的选举胜利,因为他的教育记录据称存在差距,此举可能会导致他失去公职并进一步破坏总统普拉博沃·苏比安托的政府。
JAKARTA: Indonesia's Constitutional Court will issue a ruling late on Tuesday (Oct 6) on a case that seeks to annul Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's election win because of alleged gaps in his education record, a move that could see him lose office and further undermine President Prabowo Subianto's administration.
普拉博沃与普拉博沃前任佐科·维多多(Joko Widodo)39岁的长子纪伯伦(Gibran)一起进行了一场成功但经常引起争议的竞选活动,成为东南亚最大经济体的第八任总统。
Prabowo became the eighth president of Southeast Asia's largest economy after a successful but often controversial election campaign alongside Gibran, the 39-year-old eldest son of Prabowo's predecessor, Joko Widodo.
上个月,以印度尼西亚前法律副部长为首的原告向法院提交了一份请愿书,要求由九名法官组成的陪审团取消纪伯伦的副总统职位,认为他的海外教育资格不符合印度尼西亚的资格要求,并且被选举当局不当接受。
Last month, plaintiffs led by a former Indonesian deputy law minister filed a petition to the court asking its nine-judge panel to annul Gibran's vice presidency, arguing that his overseas education credentials did not satisfy Indonesian eligibility requirements and were improperly accepted by election authorities.
印度尼西亚选举法要求总统和副总统候选人必须完成高中学业或同等教育水平。原告辩称,纪伯伦未能充分证明他符合标准。
Indonesian election law requires presidential and vice-presidential candidates to have completed senior high school or an equivalent level of education. Plaintiffs argued Gibran failed to adequately prove he had met the criteria.
法院网站显示,在与专家、外交使团和教育部举行多次听证会后,法官定于周二做出判决。
Judges are scheduled to deliver their verdict on Tuesday after holding several hearings with experts, diplomatic attaches, and the education ministry, the court's website shows.
挑战取决于纪伯伦的海外研究是否符合要求,以及选举官员是否有理由依赖政府颁发的等效证书来支持他的候选资格。
The challenge hinges on whether Gibran's overseas studies met the requirements and whether election officials were justified in relying on government-issued equivalency certificates to support his candidacy.
纪伯伦就读于新加坡兰花公园中学,后来在澳大利亚UTS Insearch学习,然后通过新加坡管理发展学院(MDIS)获得学士学位。
Gibran attended Orchid Park Secondary School in Singapore and later studied at UTS Insearch in Australia before obtaining a bachelor's degree through the Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS).
法庭笔录显示,印度尼西亚教育部官员陶菲克·达马尔贾蒂(Taufiq Damarjati)于10月2日告诉法庭,教育部的同等学历评估是基于纪伯伦的整体教育历史,同时承认在申请过程中没有提交文凭。
Indonesian education ministry official Taufiq Damarjati told the court on Oct 2 that the ministry's equivalency assessment was based on Gibran's overall educational history, while acknowledging that no diploma was submitted during the application process, court transcripts show.
据当地媒体报道,普拉博沃已经更换了几名高级官员,包括国家警察局长和人类发展和文化协调部长,此举被广泛认为反映了他与维多多的关系紧张。维多多在总统竞选期间支持他的前国防部长普拉博沃。
Prabowo has replaced several senior officials, including the national police chief and the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, local media reported, moves widely seen as a reflection of strains in his relationship with Widodo. Widodo threw his support behind Prabowo, his former defence minister, during the presidential campaign.
2023年宪法法院的一项有争议的裁决免除了纪伯伦的年龄限制,为他的候选人资格铺平了道路。此举引发了学生、活动人士和法律学者的抗议和批评,分析人士说,这让维多多即使在离任后也能保持影响力。
A controversial 2023 ruling by the Constitutional Court exempted Gibran from age restrictions, paving the way for his candidacy. The move sparked protests and criticism from students, activists and legal scholars, with analysts saying it allowed Widodo to retain influence even after leaving office.
