巴塞罗那前市长阿达·科劳周三指责美国总统唐纳德·特朗普因她的亲巴勒斯坦行动主义而禁止她参加在波多黎各举行的峰会。
Barcelona’s former mayor Ada Colau on Wednesday accused U.S. President Donald Trump of barring her from a summit in Puerto Rico over her pro-Palestinian activism.
“特朗普捍卫着一种奇怪的自由概念，”她在Telegram上写道。“同一个不尊重波多黎各公民主权、却决定其命运的人，也禁止我们这些在船队中冒着生命危险的人出行。”她指的是自己参加“全球坚忍船队”并试图于2025年底抵达加沙地带一事。
“Trump defends a curious concept of freedom,” she wrote on Telegram. “The same man who decides the fate of Puerto Rico’s citizens without respecting their sovereignty also bars those of us who risked our lives in the flotilla from traveling,” referring to her participation in the Global Sumud Flotilla that attempted to reach Gaza in late 2025.
科劳正率领西班牙左翼“广泛阵线”联盟备战11月29日的大选。她表示，美国当局拒绝了她申请签证、前往波多黎各卡瓜斯参加11月3日至4日举行的进步城市领袖峰会的在线申请。
Colau, who is leading Spain’s left-wing Broad Front coalition ahead of the Nov. 29 election, said U.S. authorities rejected her online visa application to attend a summit of progressive city leaders in Caguas, Puerto Rico, on Nov. 3 and 4.
为申诉该决定，科劳曾请求在马德里的美国大使馆预约面谈，期间领事官员仅询问了她在船队中的角色。她曾是被以色列部队拦截并扣留三天后被驱逐回西班牙的活动人士之一。
In a bid to appeal the decision, Colau requested an appointment at the U.S. embassy in Madrid, during which consular officials asked her only about her role in the flotilla. She was among the activists intercepted by Israeli forces and detained for three days before being deported to Spain.
科劳周三表示，“那些谴责种族灭绝、捍卫人权的人却无法进入美国或其以殖民方式占有的其他领土，这令人羞耻。”美国国务院未立即回应《政治报》（POLITICO）的置评请求。
Colau said Wednesday it was “shameful” that “those of us who denounce genocide and defend human rights can’t enter the U.S. or other territories it has appropriated in a colonial manner.”The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to POLITICO’s request for comment.
针对签证被拒，这位前市长还抨击了美国、阿根廷和以色列的右翼民粹主义领导人，以及西班牙极右翼政党“呼声党”。“迟早，我们将终结这股反动浪潮，赶走当今的特朗普、米莱、内塔尼亚胡和阿巴斯卡尔，”她说。
In response to her visa denial, the former mayor also hit out at right-wing populist leaders of the U.S., Argentina and Israel and the Spain’s far-right Vox party. “Sooner rather than later, we will end this reactionary wave, kick out the Trumps, Mileis, Netanyahus and Abascals of the day,” she said.
她的言论发表于西班牙即将举行的大选前一个多月。竞选活动中抨击特朗普——这位在西班牙极不受欢迎的人物——可能有助于科劳为“广泛阵线”争取支持。该联盟因未能与西班牙另一主要极左翼力量“我们能”党联合而实力受损。西班牙首相桑切斯需要其社会党左侧的政党表现良好，才有可能继续执政。
Her remarks come just over a month ahead of Spain’s upcoming election. Campaigning against Trump, an unpopular figure in Spain, could help Colau rally support for the Broad Front. The coalition has been weakened by its failure to unite with Podemos, the country’s other major far-left force. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez needs parties to the left of his Socialists to perform well to have any chance of remaining in power.
