巴西利亚,10月20日电 当巴西总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦上个月在联合国大会发言时,他利用世界最大的外交舞台之一,传递了一个已成为他数十年政治生涯中可能是最后一次总统竞选标志性信息。
BRASILIA, Oct 20 - When Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva addressed the United Nations General Assembly last month, he used one of the world’s biggest diplomatic stages to deliver a message that has come to define what is likely the final presidential campaign of his decades-long career.
“巴西不属于任何人的后院,”他说,这是对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府的隐晦讽刺,卢拉认为特朗普政府正在挑战巴西的主权。
"Brazil does not fit into anyone's backyard," he said, in a veiled dig at US President Donald Trump's administration, which he believes is challenging Brazil's sovereignty.
卢拉将巴西大选描绘为一场针对非民主力量的更广泛斗争的一部分,警告称在周日结束的激烈决选中存在“外国干涉”,他的对手是右翼参议员弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗。
Lula has portrayed Brazil's election as part of a wider battle against undemocratic forces, warning of "foreign interference" in a race that concludes on Sunday in a heated runoff against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
在投票前几天举行的首场候选人辩论中,卢拉指责由前总统雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗领导的博尔索纳罗家族“从属于美国利益”,并指出博尔索纳罗家族成员今年5月与特朗普会面,随后特朗普对巴西产品征收新关税。
In the candidates' first debate days before the vote, Lula accused the Bolsonaro family, headed by former President Jair Bolsonaro, of being "subordinate to American interests," pointing to May meetings between the Bolsonaros and Trump earlier this year before Trump imposed new tariffs on Brazilian products.
7月,卢拉表示,新关税是博尔索纳罗家族出于“选举目的”策划的“阴谋”所致。去年,参议员的兄弟、居住在美国的爱德华多·博尔索纳罗将特朗普对巴西牛肉、咖啡、鱼类、鞋类及其他商品征收的关税描述为“苦药”,旨在遏制他所谓的针对其父失控的法律攻势。
In July, Lula said the new tariffs were the result of a "plot" with the Bolsonaros "driven by electoral objectives." Last year, the senator's brother Eduardo Bolsonaro, who lives in the US, described Trump's tariffs on Brazilian beef, coffee, fish, footwear and other goods as "bitter medicine" aimed at curbing what he called an out-of-check legal offensive against his father.
“他们施压让美国对巴西征收关税,并呼吁让巴西遭受一些损害,”卢拉在辩论中说。“那个兄弟在那边煽动针对巴西的政变。”该家族否认了这些指控。美国国务院也否认了之前关于选举干涉的指控。
“The pressure they applied to get the United States to put tariffs on Brazil, and their appeal for Brazil to suffer some harm," Lula said at the debate. "The brother is over there inciting a coup against Brazil." The family denied the accusations. The State Department has also denied previous accusations of election interference.
胜选之路艰难 首轮选举结果显示了卢拉信息的局限性。超过47%的选民支持博尔索纳罗,这位直言不讳的特朗普盟友比卢拉领先近2个百分点。
HARD PATH TO VICTORY The election's first round showed the limits to Lula's message. Over 47% of voters backed Bolsonaro, an outspoken Trump ally, nearly 2 percentage points ahead of Lula.
卢拉在大选最后几天的民调中略微落后博尔索纳罗,后者的父亲因策划针对卢拉2022年大选胜利的未遂政变而正在服27年刑期。尽管卢拉以弱势方身份进入大选,但他自信能上演惊天逆转。
Lula enters the final days trailing slightly in the polls to Bolsonaro, whose father is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a failed coup against Lula's electoral win in 2022. Although Lula enters the election as the underdog, he is confident he can stage a dramatic comeback.
他以前做到过。在因贪腐定罪于2018年和2019年入狱580天、随后该定罪被推翻后,他在2022年险胜雅伊尔·博尔索纳罗。
He has done so before. After spending 580 days in prison in 2018 and 2019 on a corruption conviction that was later overturned, he narrowly defeated Jair Bolsonaro in 2022.
“只要我活着,极右翼就不会重返这个国家的政权,”他在竞选途中说道。
"As long as I am alive, the far right will not return to power in this country," he has said on the campaign trail.
盟友视他为抗衡美国力量的屏障 卢拉及其盟友继续对抗他们眼中的国际干涉,以防其连任第四任期。其竞选团队指控美国科技巨头Meta(拥有Instagram、WhatsApp和Facebook)在投票前几天操纵社交媒体。Meta将此归咎于全球性技术故障,并否认存在政治偏见。
ALLIES VIEW HIM AS BULWARK AGAINST US POWER Lula and his allies continue to fight what they see as international interference to keep him from a fourth term. His campaign accused US tech giant Meta, which owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, of manipulating social media days before the vote. Meta blamed global technical glitches and denied political bias.
卢拉将对手描绘为更广泛右翼运动的替身,分享将其与特朗普、阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡联系起来的图片。
Lula has portrayed his opponent as a stand-in for a broader right-wing movement, sharing images linking him to Trump, Argentina’s President Javier Milei and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
随着右翼政党在拉美近期多国大选中大获全胜,卢拉及其盟友视周日的决选为遏制该地区保守化倾向的机会。
With right-wing parties sweeping recent elections across Latin America, Lula and his allies see Sunday’s runoff as a chance to stem the region's conservative drift.
“卢拉是反抗特朗普帝国主义……反抗拉美和世界解放的象征,”67岁的退休IT技术员保罗·萨博伊亚在圣保罗的一次卢拉集会上说道。
“Lula is a symbol of the fight against Trump’s imperialism ... of the liberation of Latin America and the world,” Paulo Saboia, a 67-year-old retired IT technician, said at a Lula rally in Sao Paulo.
