比利时联邦政府核心内阁在周六就是否向13名巴勒斯坦奖学金学生发放签证问题爆发争议，比通社Belga周日报道。
The Belgian federal government’s core Cabinet faced a dispute on Saturday over whether to grant visas to 13 Palestinian scholarship students, Belga news agency reported Sunday.
内阁在此次会议上讨论预算措施时，关于授予来自加沙、获得比利时大学奖学金的巴勒斯坦学生签证的问题成为焦点。
The Cabinet met to discuss budgetary measures, during which the issue of granting visas to Palestinian students from Gaza who had received scholarships to study at Belgian universities came to the fore.
据报道，法语自由派MR是唯一拒绝接受外交部长马克西姆·普雷沃与庇护和移民部长安妮琳·范博斯伊特之前达成妥协的政党。
The French-speaking liberal MR was reportedly the only political party to refuse a compromise Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot had reached earlier with Asylum and Migration Minister Anneleen Van Bossuyt.
该妥协规定，这些学生不得以抵达比利时为由寻求庇护或申请家庭团聚。
The compromise stipulated that the students could not use their arrival in Belgium as grounds to seek asylum or apply for family reunification.
同时，该妥协还设立了由范博斯伊特领导的特别工作组，以探索加速和提升针对非法居留人员遣返程序的有效性。
It also established a task force led by Van Bossuyt to explore ways to accelerate and improve the effectiveness of procedures for returning people residing illegally in the country.
普雷沃据称表示：“我曾同意在该框架内讨论提案，并在审查后，如果这些提案有效、比例适当且合法，则支持某些提案。”
“I had agreed to discuss proposals within that framework and, after examining them, to support certain proposals if they were effective, proportionate and lawful,” Prevot reportedly said.
尽管核心内阁仍需批准该协议，但普雷沃在Belga看到的新闻稿中称，MR是唯一阻挠该协议的联盟伙伴，将其描述为“勒索”。“这种阻碍是人道耻辱，在政治上令人遗憾。我们谈论的是13名获得奖学金、能够在我们大学继续深造的年轻人。”他警告称，这些学生的未来不应被用作移民谈判中的“筹码”。“我为这13名年轻人深感悲伤，”普雷沃补充道。
While the core Cabinet still had to approve the deal, Prevot said in a news release seen by Belga that MR was the only coalition partner to block it, describing the move as “blackmail.”“The obstruction is a human disgrace and politically regrettable. We are talking about 13 young people who have been awarded scholarships to continue their studies at our universities,” Prevot said. He warned that the students’ future must not be used as “a bargaining chip” in migration negotiations. “I am sincerely saddened for these 13 young adults,” Prevot added.
