雅加达讯 印度尼西亚总统府周二表示,印度尼西亚副总统吉布兰·拉卡布明已表达辞职意向,此前他因高中文凭争议以及据称窃听总统普拉博沃·苏比安托一事而陷入近期风波。
JAKARTA -- Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming has expressed his intention to resign, the presidential office said Tuesday, in the wake of recent controversies surrounding his high school diploma and the alleged wiretapping of President Prabowo Subianto.
国务秘书普拉塞蒂奥·哈迪表示,吉布兰——前总统佐科·维多多的长子——当天早些时候在与普拉博沃的会面中传达了这一计划。哈迪没有说副总统是否已提交正式辞职信,以及总统是否已接受,但补充说“总统拒绝”该请求的说法不属实。
State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said Gibran, the eldest son of former president Joko Widodo, conveyed the plan during a meeting with Prabowo earlier in the day. Hadi did not say whether the vice president has submitted a formal resignation and if the president has accepted it, but added "it is not true that the president rejects" the request.
哈迪对记者表示:“鉴于宪法法院和最高法院相关裁决的最新进展,他表达了辞职意向。”
"He expressed his intention to resign in light of unfolding developments concerning rulings by the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court," Hadi told reporters.
这两家法院近期均表示,无法验证吉布兰用于参加2024年初总统选举前副总统竞选的高中文凭。吉布兰及其家人声称,他曾在新加坡就读一所高中和一所大学。
Both courts said recently that they could not authenticate Gibran's high school diploma that he used to to run for vice presidency ahead of the presidential election in early 2024. Gibran and his family have claimed that he went to a high school and a university in Singapore.
吉布兰周二晚在新闻发布会上表示,总统建议他花时间收集所有必要文件,以便对法院的裁决提起司法审查。
Gibran told a news conference on Tuesday evening that the president advised him to take the time to collect all necessary documents to file a judicial review against the courts' decisions.
副总统表示:“我承认公众就当前进展所表达的所有期望、批评和诉求。我不希望当前局势演变成一场持久的政治争议。”不过,他并未确认自己的辞职。
"I acknowledge all the aspirations, criticisms and demands that the public have expressed regarding the current developments," the vice president said. "I do not want the current situation to turn into a prolonged political controversy." He stopped short, however, of confirming his resignation.
吉布兰和哈迪的表态是在几小时后,众议院全体会议上,多名议员试图就文凭争议对副总统发起议会调查。观察人士认为,这最终旨在弹劾他。
Gibran and Hadi's remarks came hours after a House of Representatives plenary session where a number of lawmakers sought to initiate a parliamentary inquiry into the vice president over the diploma controversy, which observers see as eventually being aimed at his impeachment.
周二的事件发生在总统首席秘书长、前国家警察总长Listyo Sigit及另外两名警察上将因涉嫌窃听Prabowo而被解职和逮捕不到一周之后。Sigit是Widodo的知名亲密助手。高级政府官员表示,该事件可能构成“叛国罪”。“我们正面临考验……自由公正选举公正性的政治动态,以及挑战国家权力滥用的局面——这种局面可能威胁公民甚至国家领导人的权利,”众议院议长Puan Maharani在全体会议开幕式上表示。
Tuesday's events came less than a week after the dismissal and arrest of Listyo Sigit, then presidential chief of staff and former chief of the National Police, along with two other police generals, for allegedly wiretapping Prabowo. Sigit is a known close aide of Widodo. Senior government officials said the incident could amount to "treason." "We're facing political dynamics testing the integrity of ... free and fair elections, as well as challenging abuses of state power -- a situation that could threaten the rights of citizens and even national leaders," House Speaker Puan Maharani said at the opening of the plenary session.
Gibran的辞职计划和Listyo的被捕表明,Prabowo与Widodo之间的裂痕正在扩大。尽管他们在过去的总统选举中是主要对手,但Prabowo在Widodo2019年至2024年的第二个任期内加入其内阁,担任国防部长。
Gibran's resignation plan and Listyo's arrest signal a widening rift between Prabowo and Widodo. While they were main rivals during past presidential elections, Prabowo joined Widodo's cabinet as defense minister during the latter's second term in office in 2019-24.
Prabowo在2024年2月的总统选举中以压倒性优势获胜,Gibran担任其竞选搭档,这一胜利部分归功于当时Widodo的受欢迎程度,Widodo因宪法规定禁止连任第三届。
Prabowo's landslide victory in the February 2024 presidential race, with Gibran as his running mate, was partially attributed to the popularity at the time of Widodo, who is constitutionally barred from governing for a third term.
正在展开的政治危机正在加剧困扰印度尼西亚的经济困境。官方统计数据显示,今年季度国内生产总值增长将稳定保持在5%以上,但分析人士对经济数据越来越持怀疑态度。这发生在Prabowo领导下的政策不确定性引发资本外流,以及全球指数MSCI警告可能降低印度尼西亚评级的背景下,导致股市暴跌,印尼盾在近几个月跌至历史低点。
The unfolding political crisis is adding to the economic woes afflicting Indonesia. Official statistics suggest that quarterly gross domestic product growth will remain comfortably above 5% this year, but analysts have grown skeptical of the economic data. This comes amid capital outflows triggered by policy uncertainty under Prabowo, as well as global index MSCI's warning of a potential downgrade of Indonesia, which caused the stock market to plunge and sent the currency the rupiah to historic lows in recent months.
