墨西哥城10月7日电 - 墨西哥旨在阻止双重国籍者竞选总统的改革法案将于周三生效。批评人士认为，执政党此举意在排挤反对派候选人。
MEXICO CITY, Oct 7 - Mexico's reform to block dual citizens from running for president will take effect on Wednesday, amid criticism that the ruling party designed the move to block opposition candidates. The reform, which will also apply to state governors and the Mexico City mayor, was proposed in late August by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who defended it as a measure to prevent foreign interference.
这项改革同样适用于各州州长和墨西哥城市长，是由总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆（Claudia Sheinbaum）于8月下旬提出的，她辩称此举是为了防止外国干涉。
Opponents say the move violates the rights of Mexicans who had migrated abroad and obtained citizenship in other countries, such as the United States, and note that Mexico's Constitution already establishes nationality requirements for top positions.
移居海外并在美国等其他国家获得公民身份的墨西哥人则表示，此举侵犯了他们的权利，并指出墨西哥宪法已经对担任最高职位规定了国籍要求。
The reform, approved by a majority of lawmakers and senators from the ruling Morena party and its allies, will apply starting in 2028.
该改革由执政党国家复兴运动党（Morena）及其盟友的多数议员和参议员批准，将于2028年开始实施。
At that time, those with dual nationality must renounce any non-Mexican ties before running for any of the positions specified in the amendment.
届时，拥有双重国籍的人士在竞选修正案中指定的任何职位之前，必须放弃所有非墨西哥的关联。
Next year's midterm elections, in which some state governor positions will be on the ballot, will proceed without changes.
将于明年举行、涉及部分州长职位的期中选举将不受影响，按原计划进行。
"Today we signed the decree ...
辛鲍姆在日常新闻发布会上表示：“今天我们签署了法令……任何总统或州长都不得拥有双重国籍。”她还表示，官方公报将于当天晚些时候公布该法案。古巴、尼加拉瓜和委内瑞拉也禁止总统拥有其他国籍。
No president or governor may hold dual citizenship," Sheinbaum said at her daily press conference. She said the official gazette would publish the bill later in the day. Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela also prohibit the president from holding another nationality.
反对党国家行动党（PAN）表示，这项改革与国会的相关规定不一致，因为国会允许议员和参议员拥有其他国籍。
The opposition PAN party said the reform is inconsistent with regulations for Congress, which allow lawmakers and senators to hold other nationalities.
拥有美国和墨西哥双重国籍的墨西哥美国协会主席拉里·鲁宾（Larry Rubin）对该改革进行了批评。
Larry Rubin, president of the American Society of Mexico, who holds US and Mexican citizenship, criticized the reform.
他在X平台上发文称：“对墨西哥的忠诚不取决于一个人拥有多少本护照，而取决于他们的行动、履历以及对宪法的尊重。”
"Loyalty to Mexico is not measured by how many passports a person has, but by their actions, their track record, and their respect for the Constitution," he said in a post on X.
