法国教师称政府平息抗议的教育措施力度不够巴黎,10月27日——法国教师周二表示,旨在结束数周抗议的教育改革力度不足,不足以平息学生的愤怒。
French teachers say government education measures to quell protests fall short PARIS, Oct 27 - French teachers said on Tuesday that education reforms aimed at ending weeks of protests were insufficient and would not be enough to quell students' anger.
法国政府周一宣布了一系列提案,包括将部分班级人数上限设为28人、提供数十亿欧元的校舍翻新贷款以及改革大学招生制度,以试图缓解民众的愤怒。
The French government on Monday announced a raft of proposals, including capping some class sizes at 28, billions of euros in loans for building renovation and a revamp of the university admissions system, to try to ease popular anger.
但教师工会SNES-FSU秘书长索菲·韦内蒂泰对记者表示,这些措施力度不够,称应有更多班级设定人数上限,并应招聘更多人员以改善学生的学习条件。
But Sophie Venetitay, the secretary general for teachers' union SNES-FSU, told reporters that the measures did not go far enough, saying the size of more classes should be capped and more people should be hired to improve learning conditions for students.
“今天,教育部所说的只是一个回应的开始,”她说,“这不足以熄灭愤怒。”高中生最初封锁学校,抗议师资和资源不足,这场运动此后扩大到普通工会和所谓的“黄背心”,以表达对公共服务削弱和生活成本上涨的愤怒。
"Today, what the ministry has said is only the beginning of a response," she said. "It will not be enough to extinguish the anger." High school students initially blockaded their schools to protest against inadequate staffing and resources, in a movement that has since broadened to encompass general trade unions and the so-called "Yellow Vests" to express anger about weakening public services and cost-of-living increases.
法国政府面临债券市场要求其降低债务水平的压力,几乎没有多余资金来回应抗议者的诉求。
The French government, under pressure from bond markets to reduce its debt level, has little spare cash to respond to protesters' demands.
预算部长戴维·阿米尔在TF1电视台表示,周一宣布的措施预计将耗资50亿欧元(56亿美元),并将通过削减其他方面的开支来抵消。
Budget Minister David Amiel said on TF1 the measures announced on Monday were expected to cost €5 billion ($5.6 billion) and would be offset with spending cuts elsewhere.
学生领袖也表示,政府的让步是良好的第一步,但誓言将在周六和11月5日继续示威。
Student leaders also said the government's concessions were a good first step, but vowed to continue demonstrations, on Saturday and on November 5.
内政部长洛朗·努内兹对RTL电台表示,周六将部署大量警力。此前两周,全国性大规模抗议演变为暴力和抢劫,震惊全国,并促使法国多地实施宵禁和禁止大型集会。
Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told RTL that there would be a heavy security presence on Saturday, which will come two weeks after large nationwide protests gave way to violence and looting that shocked the country and have spurred curfews and bans on large gatherings in France.
这场动荡让法国极右翼领导人玛丽娜·勒庞的选情受益,她有望在明年春季总统选举的首轮投票中领先。
The turmoil has boosted the fortunes of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who is favoured to top the first round in the presidential election next spring.
