10月8日——德国左翼党周四同意采取多项措施应对反犹主义事件，满足了潜在联盟伙伴提出的关键条件，从而得以启动关于柏林下一届州政府组建的初步会谈。
Oct 8 - Germany's Left Party agreed measures on Thursday to address antisemitic incidents, satisfying a key condition set by potential coalition partners and allowing it to begin exploratory talks on Berlin's next state government.
该协议重新点燃了左翼党、中左翼社会民主党（SPD）和绿党之间组建三党联盟的希望。此前，在9月20日的州选举中，以主要候选人埃利夫·埃拉尔普为代表的极左翼左翼党成为最大政治力量，获得25.7%的选票。三党在新闻发布会上确认，将立即启动联盟组建的初步会谈。
The agreement revives prospects for a three-party coalition between the Left, the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) and Greens after the Left, a hard-left party represented in Berlin by lead candidate Elif Eralp, emerged from the September 20 state election as the largest force, with 25.7% of the votes. The three parties confirmed at a press conference that they would begin exploratory coalition talks immediately.
这一突破凸显出反犹主义问题以及以色列-加沙冲突在德国政治中已成为一条主要分歧线。社会民主党和绿党在进入与左翼党的联盟会谈前，坚持要求设立具有约束力的保障机制。
The breakthrough highlights how tensions over antisemitism and the Israel-Gaza conflict have become a major fault line in German politics, with the SPD and Greens insisting on binding safeguards before entering coalition talks with the Left.
如果联盟组建成功，将有助于左翼党在德国其他地区重新树立作为潜在执政伙伴的形象，并为中左翼合作提供一个范例——尤其是在传统联盟选项日益碎片化的当下。
A successful coalition could help rehabilitate the Left as a potential governing partner elsewhere in Germany, offering a model for centre-left cooperation at a time when traditional coalition options have become increasingly fragmented.
然而，这一结果也可能加剧联邦政府内部的裂痕。德国总理弗里德里希·默茨警告其社会民主党的联盟伙伴，不要与一个他认为会质疑德国对以色列“不可谈判原则”的政党联合执政。
However, it could also deepen cracks within the struggling federal government, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warning his SPD coalition partners not to enter into government with a party that he argues puts the "non-negotiable principle" of Germany's commitment to Israel up for debate.
反犹主义防范机制 左翼党的成功使其在市长职位上取代了默茨的保守党，但这一成就也因部分成员与亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动的关联而蒙上反犹主义指控的阴影。
SAFEGUARDS AGAINST ANTISEMITISM The Left's success, displacing Merz's conservative party in the mayor's office, has been overcast by allegations of antisemitism over some members' association with pro-Palestinian protests.
埃拉尔普及其他党内领导人表示，他们反对一切形式的反犹主义，同时捍卫批评以色列政府的权利。
Eralp and other party leaders say they oppose all forms of antisemitism while defending the right to criticise the Israeli government.
“安全意味着能够毫无恐惧地上学，能够佩戴基帕帽，并且能够说希伯来语而无需为自己辩解，”柏林左翼党联合主席克丽丝汀·沃尔特在一次联合新闻发布会上表示。“我们看到了柏林犹太人感受到的恐惧。”
"Safety means being able to go to school without fear, to wear a kippah, and to speak Hebrew without having to explain yourself," said Kerstin Wolter, co-chair of the Left Party in Berlin, during a joint press conference. "We see the fear felt by Jewish Berliners".
自2023年10月7日哈马斯领导对以色列发动袭击以及随后在加沙爆发的战争以来，反犹主义事件在德国持续增加，这一问题因此变得尤为严重。
The issue has been particularly significant in Germany amid a rise in antisemitic incidents since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza.
根据拟议的措施，三个政党的州议会党团领袖将对任何反犹主义事件进行审议，并在达成共识后驱逐被指控的议员；若存在分歧，则将邀请专家介入审查案件。
Under the proposed measures, the state legislature whips of all three parties would deliberate on any antisemitic incidents and expel the accused lawmaker if they reach a consensus; in case of disagreement, experts would be called in to review the case.
各政党还同意采用国际大屠杀纪念联盟（IHRA）对反犹主义的定义，但左翼党的一些成员对此表示反对，他们认为该定义可能会将批评以色列的行为与反犹主义混为一谈。
The parties have also agreed to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which has been rejected by some Left Party members who argue that it can conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
拒绝与德国选择党作比较 这些潜在的联盟伙伴还拒绝将左翼党与极右翼的德国选择党（AfD）相提并论，而民意调查显示，德国选择党是德国最受欢迎的政党。
COMPARISON WITH AFD REJECTED The prospective coalition partners also rejected any comparison between the Left Party and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), which polls indicate as the most popular party in Germany.
“德国选择党反对民主。他们谈论要将数百万人驱逐出这个国家，”社民党柏林首席候选人施泰芬·克拉赫表示。“从本质上说，德国选择党是一个反民主的政党，而站在这里的则是三个民主政党。”路透社
"The AfD fights against democracy. The AfD talks about deporting millions of people from this country," said Steffen Krach, SPD lead candidate for Berlin. "At its core, the AfD is an anti-democratic party, whereas standing before you here are three democratic parties." REUTERS
