英国国内安全局(MI5)局长称,在首相指责俄罗斯干涉2016年脱欧公投之后,脱欧公投结果“并不存在争议”。
The head of MI5 has said the result of the Brexit referendum "is not in dispute" after the prime minister said Russia had interfered in the 2016 vote.
肯·麦卡勒姆爵士在周二发表年度威胁评估后,向广播媒体发表了上述言论。
Sir Ken McCallum was speaking to broadcasters after he delivered an annual threat assessment on Tuesday.
当被问及俄罗斯是否干涉了脱欧运动——如果有干涉,这种干涉是否产生了影响时,安全局局长表示:“正如我认为首相昨天在下议院所说的那样,脱欧公投结果并不存在争议。”
Asked whether Russia had meddled in the Brexit campaign and - if it did - whether the interference had had an impact, the director general of the Security Service said: "As per what I think the prime minister said in the House of Commons yesterday, the Brexit referendum result is not in dispute.
“并且根据您提出问题的方式,这里存在所尝试的干涉与……所达成的结果之间的区别。”
"And as per the way you framed your question, there is a difference here between interference attempted and ... outcome achieved.
“并且在2026年今日,我们常规地看到俄罗斯及其他方面试图制造分裂,或更具体地说,试图机会主义地利用他们所感知到的英国公众辩论中的任何分歧。”
"And routinely today in 2026, we see attempts by the Russians and by others to sow division or more particularly to opportunistically exploit any divisions they perceive in UK public debate.
“因此,我们常规地看到俄罗斯方面试图制造这种类型的分歧和分裂。”肯爵士还指出,有确凿证据表明俄罗斯曾试图干涉2019年大选。
"And so we routinely see attempts by the Russians to sow that kind of dissension and division." Sir Ken also pointed to a confirmed Russian attempt to meddle in the 2019 general election.
他随后指出,在脱欧公投前三年——也就是2016年公投前夕,俄罗斯国家电视台如今日俄罗斯(Russia Today)和卫星通讯社(Sputnik)正在播出并发表支持英国脱离欧盟的文章。
He then pointed to how, in the run-up to the Brexit referendum three years earlier, Russian state TV outlets such as Russia Today and Sputnik were broadcasting and publishing articles in favour of the UK leaving the European Union.
