欧洲议会中第三大政党联盟——右翼民族主义组织“欧洲爱国者党”（Patriots for Europe, PfE）周三表示，警方已在布鲁塞尔和斯特拉斯堡的欧洲议会大楼内的一些“行政办公室”进行了搜查。
The third-largest alliance of parties in the European Parliament the right-wing nationalist Patriots for Europe (PfE) group, on Wednesday said searches had been carried out at "administrative offices" at the European Parliament buildings in Brussels and Strasbourg.
该组织称，这些搜查似乎与针对现已解散的“身份与民主党”（Identity and Democracy, ID）成员涉嫌滥用资金的长期调查有关。
PfE said the searches appeared to be tied to the long-running probe into alleged misuse of funds by members of the now-disbanded Identity and Democracy (ID) Group.
“欧洲爱国者党”是在2024年欧洲议会选举后从“身份与民主党”的残余势力中成立的，在此过程中该组织的一些成员流失，同时也有一些新成员加入。那么，负责调查的机构对此有何说法呢？
PfE formed out of the ashes of ID, losing and gaining some members along the way, after the last European Parliament elections in 2024 What did the investigative body say about the searches? The European Public Prosecutor's Office — the independent body that investigates and prosecutes crimes against the EU budget, such as corruption or misuse of EU funds — said it searched premises in France and Belgium.
欧洲公共检察官办公室（European Public Prosecutor’s Office, EPPO）是一个独立机构，负责调查和起诉针对欧盟预算的犯罪行为（如腐败或滥用欧盟资金）。该机构表示，他们在法国和比利时的相关场所进行了搜查，并称这是对某个前欧洲议会政党使用欧盟资金行为的持续调查的一部分。不过，EPPO并未透露具体涉及哪个政党，并表示暂时不会公布更多细节，以免影响调查进程。
It said this was part of an ongoing investigation into the use of European Union funds by a former European Parliament group. EPPO did not say which group was involved and said it would not publish further details for now for fear of compromising the investigation.
“欧洲爱国者党”对此事件有何回应呢？该组织确认其办公室确实遭到了搜查，同时强调：自重新改组以来，他们与该案件并无任何关联——尽管其成员政党基本保持不变，唯一的例外是“德国替代党”（Alternative for Germany）已不再属于该联盟。
What did the PfE say about the searches? PfE, meanwhile, confirmed the activity around its offices but also tried to stress its distance from the case since its rebrand and reformation — even though its constituent political parties are largely the same with the notable exception of the Alternative for Germany now being excluded.
“自今天早上起，欧洲公共检察官办公室一直在布鲁塞尔和斯特拉斯堡的欧洲议会行政办公室内进行搜查。这些搜查似乎与2024年针对‘身份与民主党’提出的投诉有关，”该组织在一份声明中写道。“‘欧洲爱国者党’重申：我们与‘身份与民主党’在法律上没有继承关系，也不参与正在进行的任何调查。”
"Since this morning, the European Public Prosecutor's Office has been carrying out searches in administrative offices at the European Parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg. It would appear that these searches are linked to the complaint lodged against the Identity and Democracy Group (ID) dissolved in 2024," it wrote in a statement. "The Patriots for Europe Group emphasizes that there is no legal continuity with the ID Group and that it is not involved in the ongoing investigations," it said.
欧洲议会中代表“国民联盟”（Rassemblement National, RN）党的法国议员让-保罗·加罗（Jean-Paul Garraud）表示：“‘身份与民主’（Identity and Democracy, ID）党派的前工作人员的办公室遭到了袭击。”关于该党派滥用欧盟资金的调查细节如下：欧洲议会审计人员去年得出结论：在2019年至2024年的上一个立法任期内，该党派成员至少滥用咗430万欧元（约合480万美元）的欧盟资金。根据审计报告，这些资金被转入了与该党派有关联的公司，以及一些支持反堕胎运动的组织。
A French member of the European Parliament for the Rassemblement National or National Rally (RN) party, Jean-Paul Garraud, said that "the offices of staff members of the former Identity and Democracy group" were targeted. What were the details of the ID misuse of funds probe? European Parliament auditors concluded last year that ID members had misused at least €4.3 million (roughly $4.8 million) in EU funds during the previous legislative term from 2019 to 2024. According to their report, the money flowed to companies close to the group and to associations supporting anti-abortion campaigners.
这起事件与国民联盟领导人玛丽娜·勒庞（Marine Le Pen）的判例有些相似，但属于不同的案件。勒庞本人也曾是欧洲议会议员；她的总统竞选一度因此受到阻碍。不过，上诉法院最终为她参选总统扫清了障碍。
The case was reminiscent of, but separate from, the conviction against RN leader Marine Le Pen, herself a former MEP, that for a time looked set to stifle her bid for the French presidency.

It included France's RN, Germany's AfD, Austria's Freedom Party (FPÖ) and Italy's Lega, among other members.
“身份与民主”党派仅在2019年至2024年这一个立法任期内存在于欧洲议会中，其成员包括法国的国民联盟、德国的德国选择党（AfD）、奥地利的自由党（FPÖ）以及意大利的联盟党（Lega）等。该党派在2024年欧洲议会选举期间因内部严重分歧而解体，主要原因是党内对德国选择党候选人马克西米利安·克拉（Maximilian Krah）的不满——这些不满涉及他关于纳粹德国的争议性言论，以及对其盟友涉嫌受到俄罗斯和中国影响的指控。
克拉的一名助手后来被指控为中国从事间谍活动。国民联盟、自由党和联盟党现在共同组成了新的“欧洲人民联盟”（PfE）党派，但德国选择党并未被邀请加入该新联盟。
It fell apart after major internal friction during the 2024 European election campaign, not least because of dissatisfaction within the group with their lead candidate Maximilian Krah of the AfD over a number of issues — from controversial remarks about Nazi Germany through to allegations of his close allies being Russian and Chinese influence, with one of Krah's aides since convicted of spying for China RN, FPÖ and Lega are part of the new PfE group, which claims "no legal continuity" to the dissolved ID alliance, but the AfD was not invited to join the PfE.
“欧洲人民联盟”在719个席位的欧洲议会中拥有85个席位，成为第三大党派，但远远落后于中右翼的欧洲人民党（184席）和中左翼的社会民主党（135席）。
PfE has 85 seats in the 719-seat European Parliament, making it the third-largest group in the chamber, but a rather distant third behind the center-right European People's Party (184) and the center-left Socialists and Democrats (135).
欧洲议会严重依赖此类集团，这些集团试图将来自各成员国、政策立场和政治倾向大体相当的政党团结在一起。
The European Parliament relies heavily on such groupings, which try to unite political parties from various member states with broadly comparable policy positions and political alignment.
德国选择党组建了一个规模小得多的极右翼分裂集团——主权国家欧洲（ESN），仅拥有27个席位，其中15个由德国选择党持有。
The AfD set up a much smaller splinter far-right grouping called Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN), with just 27 seats, 15 of them held by the AfD.
