印尼国会周二复会,议员们正在权衡是否就副总统吉布兰·拉卡布明·拉卡的任职资格展开调查。与此同时,他颇具影响力的父亲与总统普拉博沃·苏比安托之间的政治裂痕日益扩大。
Indonesia's parliament reconvened on Tuesday with lawmakers weighing the possibility of a probe into the eligibility of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, amid a widening political rift between his influential father and President Prabowo Subianto.
作为极受欢迎的两届前总统佐科·维多多的儿子,吉布兰帮助普拉博沃以巨大优势赢得2024年大选,但一些议员正寻求调查他学历材料不完整是否使其不具备担任副总统的资格。
As son of the hugely popular two-term former President Joko Widodo, Gibran helped Prabowo win the 2024 election by a huge margin, but some lawmakers are seeking to investigate whether his incomplete education documents disqualify him as vice president.
国会议长普安·马哈拉尼表示,在为期一个月的休会期间,已收到许多关于吉布兰资格问题的意见,接下来将讨论下一步行动。“我们将听取议会各政党的意见,”她告诉记者。
House Speaker Puan Maharani said many opinions on the issue of Gibran's eligibility had been received during a one-month recess, and the next steps would be discussed. "We will listen to inputs from the parties in parliament," she told reporters.
“休会期间,我们还收到了各政党的大量意见,涉及国会可以采取哪些行动以及相关机制如何运作。”
"During the recess, we have also received a great deal of input from the parties regarding what the House can do and how the mechanisms work."
现年39岁的吉布兰在担任副总统期间一直保持低调,在两人执政的头两年里,他与普拉博沃共同露面的次数并不多。
Gibran, 39, had kept a low profile as vice president, and his appearances together with Prabowo have been infrequent in their first two years in office.
但近来,随着总统与维多多之间的紧张关系加剧,他被推到了聚光灯下。维多多更广为人知的称呼是佐科维,他曾在2014年和2019年两次击败普拉博沃,之后又默许支持其作为自己的接班人。
But he has been thrust into the spotlight of late as tensions grow between the president and Widodo, better known as Jokowi, who twice defeated Prabowo in 2014 and 2019 elections before tacitly backing him as his successor.
上周,三名高级警官被捕,他们被控大范围非法窃听,包括窃听普拉博沃本人。此后,两人关系的裂痕进一步加深。
Cracks in their relationship deepened last week following the arrest of three senior police officers accused of widespread illegal wiretapping, including of Prabowo himself.
被捕者中包括一名佐科的忠实支持者,此人最近从国家警察总长一职调任总统办公厅主任。
The arrests included a Jokowi loyalist recently transferred from the post of national police chief to become the president's chief of staff.
这起丑闻是普拉博沃面临的一系列棘手问题中的最新一起。过去一年,由于民众对他大举支出的民粹政策日益不满,他的支持率大幅下滑;在一系列挫折造成印尼股市剧烈动荡、货币大幅贬值后,他还一直努力安抚投资者。
The scandal was the latest in a series of headaches for Prabowo. His approval rating has slumped in the past year as a result of growing disgruntlement with his big-spending populist policies, and he has also been battling to reassure investors after a series of setbacks that have caused havoc on Indonesia's stock market and a slump in the value of its currency.
关于吉布兰资格的争议发生在上个月宪法法院和最高法院裁定他提交的教育文件不符合选举要求之后。
The dispute over Gibran's qualifications came after rulings last month by the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court that the education documents he submitted did not meet election requirements.
然而,宪法法院表示,它无权取消他的资格,这是其他机构的责任。
The constitutional court, however, said it did not have the power to disqualify him, which was the responsibility of other institutions.
议会绝大多数由普拉博沃的“大帐篷”联盟控制,议员们一直在考虑就此事展开调查,分析人士认为这可能是弹劾吉布兰的第一步。
Lawmakers in parliament, which is overwhelmingly under the control of Prabowo's "big tent" coalition, have been looking into launching an inquiry into the issue, which analysts believe could be the first step towards Gibran's impeachment.
一位消息人士告诉路透社,普拉博沃周二会见了吉布兰,但会谈内容尚不清楚。该消息人士因事态敏感而不愿透露姓名。总统和副总统办公室尚未立即回应置评请求。
Prabowo met Gibran on Tuesday, but it was not clear what the talks were about, a source with direct knowledge told Reuters, declining to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. The offices of the president and the vice president did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
周二,众议院议长普安在接受记者采访时也被问及吉布兰和普拉博沃是否会面以及副总统辞职的可能性。“我们不应该猜测,”她说。“最好冷静回应,避免对尚未发生的事情引起公众的担忧。”
House Speaker Puan was also asked by reporters on Tuesday about whether Gibran and Prabowo met and the possibility of the vice president resigning. ""We should not speculate," she said. "It is better to respond calmly and avoid raising concerns among the public over things that have not yet happened."
