巴黎10月12日电——约瑟夫·马丁(Joseph Martin)成为极右翼国民联盟(RN)议员的希望在2024年破灭,此前记者挖出了一篇看似具有反犹太主义色彩的帖文。

PARIS, Oct 12 - Joseph Martin saw his hopes of becoming a far-right National Rally (RN) lawmaker derailed in 2024 after journalists unearthed a seemingly antisemitic post.

最初撤销对马丁候选资格支持的是国民联盟主席乔丹·巴尔代拉(Jordan Bardella),当时该党正试图让选民相信它已摆脱有毒的过去并已准备好执政,此举旨在表明对反犹太主义采取零容忍态度。

It was RN president Jordan Bardella who initially withdrew support for Martin's candidacy, seeking to show zero tolerance for antisemitism as the party tried to convince voters it had shed its toxic past and was ready for top office.

因此,在巴尔代拉面临对其本人反犹太主义指控——他对此予以否认——之际,国民联盟团结在他周围,马丁表示,应当对国民联盟党魁适用相同的标准,并在指控接受调查期间卸职。

So as the RN closes ranks around Bardella while he grapples with his own accusations of antisemitism – which he denies – Martin said the RN chief should be held to the same standard and step aside while the claims are investigated.

“他审判了我、谴责了我,并将我开除出国民联盟,”马丁说。在国民联盟同意他的帖文不具有反犹太主义后,他最终获准参选。然而,他最终落败,随后他代表该党参加未来选举的申请也被拒绝,这基本上断送了他的政治生涯。

"He judged me, condemned me and excluded me from the RN," said Martin, who was eventually cleared to run after the RN agreed his post was not antisemitic. However, he lost and saw his subsequent application to represent the party in future votes rejected, essentially ending his political career.

国民联盟处理针对两人(一人是该党的新星,另一人是名不见经传的地方候选人)指控的方式存在差异,这引发了对其最根本主张之一的质疑:即它已彻底与曾在其部分历史中留下烙印的反犹太主义决裂。

The discrepancy between how the RN handled accusations against the two men - one the rising star of the party and the other a little-known regional candidate - raises questions about one of its most fundamental claims: that it has decisively broken with the antisemitism that marked parts of its history.

“这里面有包装、粉饰和策略,但这些思想依然存在,”巴黎政治学院(Sciences-Po)政治学者吉尔·伊瓦尔迪(Gilles Ivaldi)说。巴尔代拉立场坚定巴尔代拉否认了调查性媒体《媒体帕尔》(Mediapart)的指控。该媒体发表了据称是他在青少年时期聊天中发表的反犹太主义和阴谋论言论,巴尔代拉称这些言论是“粗劣的造假”,并表示他将提起诽谤诉讼。

"There's been packaging, cosmetics and strategy, but the ideas persist," said Sciences-Po university political scientist Gilles Ivaldi. BARDELLA STANDS HIS GROUND Bardella has denied the allegations by investigative outlet Mediapart, which published purported antisemitic and conspiratorial comments he made in chats as a teenager, calling them "crude fakes" and saying he would file defamation lawsuits.

尽管如此,这起丑闻仍对这位31岁政治人物的快速崛起构成了迄今为止最严重的威胁,同时也让国民联盟总统候选人玛丽娜·勒庞(Marine Le Pen)在经历三次竞选失败后力图赢得总统宝座之际感到头疼。

Still, the scandal represents the gravest threat yet to the 31-year-old's rapid political ascent, while also posing a headache for RN presidential candidate Marine Le Pen as she seeks to win the presidency after three failed attempts.

在明年的大选前民调领先的勒庞领导了国民联盟长达十年的品牌重塑,而巴尔代拉则访问了以色列,以表明该党不存在因其创始人、玛丽娜的父亲让-玛丽·勒庞(Jean-Marie Le Pen)而被定罪的反犹太主义。

Le Pen, who leads polls ahead of next year's vote, has led a decade-long rebrand of the RN, while Bardella has visited Israel to show the party is free of the antisemitism for which its founder, Marine's father Jean-Marie Le Pen, was convicted.

“这起事件将刺眼的光芒投向了国民联盟的真正面目,”社会党议员纪尧姆·加罗(Guillaume Garot)说。不过他也承认,这场争议正在与高中抗议活动、疲软的经济和地缘政治等一长串选民关注的问题争夺注意力。指控可能在决胜轮投票中损害勒庞国民联盟已声援巴尔代拉,同时也淡化了这起丑闻的影响。“我认为这在基层绝对没有任何影响,”勒庞的助手勒诺·拉巴耶(Renaud Labaye)对路透社说。

"This affair shines a harsh light on what the National Rally really is," said Socialist lawmaker Guillaume Garot. However, he also acknowledged the controversy was competing for attention with a long list of voter concerns, from high school protests and a weak economy to geopolitics. ALLEGATIONS MAY HURT LE PEN IN RUN-OFF VOTE The RN has rallied to Bardella's defence, while also playing down the scandal. "I think it has absolutely no impact on the ground whatsoever," Le Pen aide Renaud Labaye told Reuters.

根据LCI电视台委托IFOP进行的民调显示,约74%的法国人认为这些信息如果属实将是有问题的,但只有21%的人表示他们对巴尔代拉的看法恶化了。

Some 74% of the French believe the messages are problematic if true, according to an IFOP poll for LCI TV, but only 21% say their opinion of Bardella has deteriorated.

上周在一次新闻发布会上受到《媒体帕尔》记者质问时,巴尔代拉采取了挑衅的语调。

Bardella struck a defiant tone when challenged by a Mediapart journalist at a press conference last week.

“你们的小动作似乎没起作用,”他说。“你们本很想看到我跪下,但你们显然很不了解我。”伊瓦尔迪表示,国民联盟最忠实的选民不太可能抛弃该党,因为他们的首要任务是购买力、能源价格、移民和犯罪。但这场丑闻可能会在决胜轮中损害勒庞,因为在决胜轮中,胜利将取决于吸引国民联盟传统基本盘之外的保守派选民。

"Your little operation doesn't seem to be cutting through," he said. "You'd have loved to see me on my knees, but you clearly don't know me very well." Ivaldi said the RN's most loyal voters were unlikely to abandon the party as their priorities were purchasing power, energy prices, immigration and crime. But the scandal could hurt Le Pen in a run-off, when victory would depend on attracting conservative voters beyond the RN's traditional base.

“如果有影响,它更有可能出现在第二轮选民中,特别是那些更加密切关注国民联盟意识形态特征的选民,”他说。内部紧张局势这场争议发生在勒庞与她的门生巴尔代拉关系微妙的时刻。在巴黎上诉法院在7月份的一项震惊裁决中清除勒庞的参选资格之前,巴尔代拉曾是该党事实上的总统候选人。

"If there is an impact, it is more likely to be among second-round voters, particularly those who pay closer attention to the RN's ideological profile," he said. INTERNAL TENSIONS The controversy comes at a delicate moment in the relationship between Le Pen and her protege Bardella, who had been the party's de facto presidential candidate until a Paris appeals court cleared her to run in a shock July ruling.

在这一裁决出台前夕,巴尔代拉日益宣示其独立性,党内官员表示,此后的摩擦有所增加,包括国民联盟与勒庞的侄女马丽娜·马雷夏尔(Marion Maréchal)之间的靠拢。马雷夏尔是一位反堕胎的激进人物,也是巴尔代拉潜在的竞争对手。

Bardella had increasingly asserted his independence in the run-up to that verdict, and party officials said frictions have since grown, including over the RN's rapprochement with Le Pen's niece, Marion Maréchal, an anti-abortion firebrand and potential Bardella rival.

国民联盟参议员约书亚·奥沙尔(Joshua Hochart)淡化了紧张局势,但表示巴尔代拉愿意明确表达自己的分歧。

RN Senator Joshua Hochart played down the tensions but said Bardella was willing to make his disagreement known.

“巴尔代拉不只是玛丽娜·勒庞的门生。他的观点很重要,当某些事情行不通时,他说出来是对的,”他说。

"Bardella isn't just Marine Le Pen's protégé. His views count and he's right to say when something isn't working," he said.

尽管勒庞在反犹太主义指控上支持了巴尔代拉,但政治对手和分析人士表示他已被削弱。

Although Le Pen has backed Bardella over the antisemitism claims, political rivals and analysts say he has been weakened.

“这个案子使玛丽娜·勒庞的竞选变得复杂,”伊瓦尔迪说。“他不再是她曾经拥有的重大资产。”伊瓦尔迪表示,在一个有着长期排挤勒庞家族以外雄心勃勃政客历史的政党中,巴尔代拉的未来仍然充满不确定性。

"The case complicates Marine Le Pen's campaign," Ivaldi said. "He is no longer the major asset he was for her." And in a party with a long history of sidelining ambitious politicians from outside the Le Pen clan, Bardella's future remains uncertain, Ivaldi said.

极右翼“复兴党”的前总统候选人埃里克·泽穆尔(Eric Zemmour)直言不讳地谈到了巴尔代拉地位的下降。

Eric Zemmour, a former presidential candidate from the extreme-right Reconquest party, was blunt about Bardella's diminished status.

他在周一的RTL电台上表示:“乔丹·巴尔代拉正在被边缘化出国民联盟的核心,”并预测他现在将永远不会成为勒庞的法国总理。“这一切都结束了。”路透社

"Jordan Bardella is in the process of being marginalized from the heart of the RN," he said on RTL radio on Monday, predicting he would now never become Le Pen's prime minister. "It's finished all that." REUTERS
