阿尔巴尼亚反对派领袖将政府成员称为“罪犯”,他和其他议员在议会会议上点燃焰火和烟雾弹,造成会议中断。
The leader of Albania’s opposition has branded members of the government as “criminals”, while he and fellow lawmakers disrupted a parliamentary session by setting off flares and smoke bombs.
萨利·贝里沙和其他反对派议员周四在首都蒂拉纳冲进议会,支持要求总理埃迪·拉马辞职的示威者。贝里沙和他的同事试图阻止对一项新的中央银行法进行表决,但未能成功。
Sali Berisha and other opposition members stormed parliament in the capital, Tirana, on Thursday in support of demonstrators who are demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation. Berisha and his colleagues unsuccessfully tried to prevent a vote on a new law governing the country’s central bank.
“这些[执政党议员]是罪犯,他们应该遭受催泪瓦斯、橡胶子弹、头破血流和骨折,而不是年轻人,”阿尔巴尼亚民主党领袖贝里沙说。
“These [ruling lawmakers] are criminals and they deserve tear gas, rubber bullets, cracked skulls and broken bones, not the young people,” Berisha, leader of the Democratic Party of Albania, said.
抗议活动始于5月,导火索是拉马初步批准一个与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳有关的豪华度假村项目。
The protests began in May and were triggered by Rama’s preliminary approval of a luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner the son-in-law of United States President Donald Trump.
这场由学生领导的抗议运动此后已发展成规模更大的运动,示威者指出经济停滞、所谓的腐败和教育标准低下,再加上高昂的学费。
The student-led protest movement has since evolved into something far bigger, with demonstrators citing economic stagnation, alleged corruption and poor education standards, coupled with high tuition fees.
反政府抗议活动是阿尔巴尼亚几十年来规模最大的,并已演变为暴力,造成数百人受伤,其中包括警察。政府大楼、银行和私人建筑也遭到攻击并被纵火。拉马执政已有13年,去年赢得第四个任期后拒绝辞职。
The anti-government protests are Albania’s largest in decades and have turned violent, injuring hundreds of people, including police officers. Government buildings, banks and private buildings have also been attacked and set on fire. Rama has been in office for 13 years and has refused to resign after winning a fourth term last year.
周四,贝里沙在议会发言时,他的同事围在他身边,举着据称被橡胶子弹打伤的抗议者的照片。
As Berisha addressed parliament on Thursday, his colleagues surrounded him while holding photos of protesters allegedly injured by rubber bullets.
拉马规定,任何参加演变为暴力的抗议活动的人,即使未参与此类行为,也将被处以超过6000美元的罚款。这相当于阿尔巴尼亚平均月薪约1000美元的六倍。
Rama has introduced fines of more than $6,000 for anyone who attends a protest that turns violent, even if they did not participate in such acts. That is six times Albania’s average monthly salary of around $1,000.
拉马宣布了一系列旨在平息抗议的措施。据阿尔巴尼亚公共广播电台《阿尔巴尼亚广播电视台》报道,这些措施包括提高低收入家庭学生的每月奖学金津贴,奖学金也已扩展至硕士生。该广播电台还报道称,拉马宣布为学生提供租金补贴。
Rama has announced a series of measures aimed at easing the protests. These include increasing the monthly scholarship stipend for students from low-income families, according to Albania’s public broadcaster, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar. Scholarships have also been extended to master’s degree students. Rama has also announced subsidised rent for students, the broadcaster reported.
