官方平权监管机构已致函改革英国党(Reform UK),表达关切。此前,一档卧底电视纪录片披露该党议员和候选人发表种族主义和厌女言论,甚至有该党国会议员抱怨党内存在根深蒂固的性别歧视。

The official equalities watchdog has written to Reform UK to raise concerns after an undercover TV documentary showed councillors and candidates for the party expressing racist and misogynistic views, with one of the party's MPs complaining about ingrained sexism.

平等与人权委员会(EHRC)表示,已在ITV纪录片《卧底:改革党的一年》(Undercover: A Year in Reform)于10月播出后,致函奈杰尔·法拉奇(Nigel Farage)领导的该党。

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said it had written to Nigel Farage's party in the wake of revelations in ITV's Undercover: A Year in Reform, which was broadcast in October.

尽管法拉奇称该党的审核程序已大幅改进,但节目画面显示,索利哈尔(Solihull)改革党议员兼副市长艾伦·菲尼(Alan Feeney)称亚裔房主为“寄生虫”,发表伊斯兰恐惧症言论,并声称“英国人口中非白人比例不得超过1%”。

While Farage has said the party's vetting procedures have improved greatly, footage in the programme included Alan Feeney, a Reform councillor and deputy mayor of Solihull, calling Asian homeowners "parasites", making Islamophobic remarks, and stating that "no more than 1% of [the] British population can be non-white".

其他候选人被录下发表极端暴力言论,并分享极度厌女和种族主义观点,其中包括一名布罗姆利(Bromley)议员呼吁杀害查尔斯国王,另一名议员对女同事发表令人不安的性骚扰和厌女言论。

Other candidates were recorded making comments of extreme violence and sharing deeply misogynistic and racist views, including a Bromley councillor calling for King Charles to be killed and another councillor who made disturbing sexual and misogynistic comments about female colleagues.

在另一段画面中,改革党国会议员莎拉·波钦(Sarah Pochin)抱怨该党“沙文主义”盛行,充斥着“阿尔法男性那套狗屁”。

In another section, the Reform MP Sarah Pochin was shown complaining that the party was "chauvinistic" and riven with "alpha male shit".

平等与人权委员会声明称,其致函要求改革党提供信息,“包括该党为遵守《平等法案》采取了哪些行动”。

An EHRC statement said its letter had asked Reform to provide information, "including what action the party is taking to comply with the Equality Act".

声明称,在该纪录片播出后,平等与人权委员会“接到投诉,指控根据2010年《平等法案》涉嫌违法活动,包括对议员、准议员和党员发表的种族和性别言论表示关切”。

In the wake of the documentary, the statement said, the EHRC "received complaints alleging unlawful activity under the Equality Act 2010, including concerns about racial and sexual remarks expressed by councillors, prospective councillors and members".

声明继续表示:“对于我们收到的每一起投诉,我们都将仔细评估所提供的信息,并在考虑后在适当情况下采取行动。”

It went on: "As with every complaint we receive, we will assess the information provided carefully and, following that consideration, take action where appropriate.

“政党与所有负有义务的主体一样,必须遵守《平等法案》,并采取措施避免基于种族、宗教或信仰以及性别的歧视或骚扰。我们已发布指导文件,建议政党履行其在该法案下的责任,并敦促它们予以考量。这可能包括审查党内政策或做法,以识别需要解决的潜在歧视、骚扰或报复领域。”

"Political parties, like all duty-bearers, must comply with the Equality Act and take steps to avoid discrimination or harassment including on the grounds of race, religion or belief and sex. We have guidance advising parties on their responsibilities under the act and urge them to consider it. This could include reviewing party policies or practices to identify areas of potential discrimination, harassment or victimisation that need to be addressed."

这发生在平等与人权委员会(EHRC)数周前致函英格兰和威尔士绿党,要求就一项将犹太复国主义等同于种族主义、并呼吁以色列被单一巴勒斯坦国取代的新党内政策提供更多信息之后。

It comes weeks after the EHRC wrote to the Greens in England and Wales to seek more information about a new party policy which equates Zionism with racism and calls for Israel to be replaced by a single Palestinian state.

改革英国党表示,已向警方举报了ITV电视台及相关记者,并对该广播公司分别提出了民事法律诉讼的威胁。

Reform has said it reported ITV and the reporters concerned to police, with separate threats of civil legal action against the broadcaster.

针对平等与人权委员会的来函,该党发言人表示:“我们确信已完全履行《平等法案》下的义务。改革英国党容不下种族主义。”

Responding to the EHRC letter, a party spokesperson said: "We are confident we have fully complied with our obligations under the Equality Act. There is no room for racism in Reform UK
