阿尔巴尼亚议会议员周四发生冲突,反对派议员试图干扰会议,而议会在国内紧张局势中继续对立法进行投票。
Lawmakers in Albania's parliament clashed on Thursday as opposition members of parliament attempted to disrupt a session, while the assembly continued voting on legislation amid tensions in the country.
冲突发生在议会领导层拒绝反对派要求就席卷首都蒂拉纳的十天学生示威进行辩论之后。反对派议员举起之前抗议中被警察打伤的学生照片,堵住议会讲台,而议会在混乱中继续推进立法投票。
The clashes broke out after parliamentary leadership rejected opposition demands to debate ten days of student demonstrations that have gripped the capital Tirana. Opposition MPs held up photographs of students injured by police during previous protests and blocked the parliamentary podium, while the assembly pressed ahead with voting on legislation amid the chaos.
议会外,大批学生聚集在大楼入口处,抗议活动进入第十个连续日。近两周以来,示威者在市中心与警察反复发生冲突,投掷石块、焰火、燃烧弹和烟花。警察则以警棍、水炮和催泪瓦斯回应。学生们想要什么高中和大学生要求降低学费、增加国家对教育的投资,并终止教育系统中的腐败。
Outside parliament, large crowds of students gathered at the building’s entrances as the protests entered their tenth consecutive day. For nearly two weeks now, demonstrators have clashed repeatedly with police in the city centre, hurling rocks, flares, firebombs and fireworks. Officers have responded with batons, water cannons and tear gas. What the students wantHigh school and university students are demanding lower tuition fees, greater state investment in education and an end to corruption in the education system.
他们随后加入了更广泛的反政府运动,要求社会党总理埃迪·拉马辞职。拉马却誓言抵制。
“投石浪潮,试图推翻政府,通过强加暴力来改变执政者,无论以何种形式、出于何种原因,都绝不会被允许发生,”他在周二与教师和学校代表会面后表示。
They have since joined a broader anti-government movement calling for the resignation of Socialist Prime Minister Edi Rama. Rama has however vowed to resist.“A wave of stones, an attempt to overthrow the government and change those in power through the imposition of violence, something that will never be allowed to happen, in any form or for any reason,” he said after meeting teachers and school representatives on Tuesday.
阿尔巴尼亚总理认为,合理的诉求正被那些故意煽动暴力的人所利用。
The Albanian prime minister argued that legitimate grievances were being exploited by those deliberately inciting violence.
学生抗议活动发生在火烈鸟运动组织的数月示威活动之后。该运动反对阿尔巴尼亚南亚得里亚海沿岸一项重大豪华旅游开发项目,该项目与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的女婿贾里德·库什纳创立的一家投资公司有关。有趣的是,阿尔巴尼亚并非孤例。
The student protests follow months of demonstrations organised by the Flamingo movement, which emerged in opposition to a major luxury tourism development on Albania’s southern Adriatic coast linked to an investment firm founded by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump. Interestingly, Albania is not alone.
欧洲各国政府正面临街头压力,抗议者关注燃油成本上涨、公共服务恶化、学校资金不足以及日益加深的住房危机。法国和意大利出现了类似抗议,而西班牙和葡萄牙因住房难以负担而出现了帐篷营地。希腊本周也计划举行示威活动。
Governments across Europe are facing street pressure over rising fuel costs, deteriorating public services, underfunded schools and a deepening housing crisis. France and Italy have seen similar protests, while tent camps have sprung up in Spain and Portugal over unaffordable housing. Demonstrations were also planned in Greece this week.
