印度尼西亚副总统在政治联盟破裂之际辞职。吉布兰·拉卡布明·拉卡正值因其学历丑闻卸任之际，他曾是将普拉博沃·苏比安托推上总统宝座的伙伴关系的象征。
Indonesia’s Vice President Resigns as a Political Alliance Unravels Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who is stepping down amid a scandal over his academic credentials, was a symbol of the partnership that elevated President Prabowo Subianto into office.
印度尼西亚副总统周四向议会提交了辞呈，因其学历丑闻而下台，并为这个东南亚最大经济体注入了新的政治不确定性。
The vice president of Indonesia submitted his resignation to Parliament on Thursday, succumbing to a scandal about his academic credentials and injecting new political uncertainty in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
吉布兰·拉卡布明·拉卡在2024年当选印尼最年轻的副总统，其政治生涯经历了急速上升。他曾是其父亲、卸任总统佐科·维多多与当选领导人普拉博沃·苏比安托之间伙伴关系的象征，正是这种伙伴关系将普拉博沃推上了总统宝座。
Gibran Rakabuming Raka was elected as Indonesia’s youngest vice president in 2024, in a precipitous rise. He was a symbol of the partnership between his father, the outgoing president, Joko Widodo, and the incoming leader, Prabowo Subianto, that elevated Mr. Prabowo into office.
印尼民调研究所政治分析师约斯·C·克纳瓦斯说：“这种关系显然已经破裂。”他补充说，随着吉布兰的离去，“普拉博沃正试图证明自己已经走出了佐科的阴影”，他用昵称指代这位前领导人。
“The relationship has clearly fractured,” said Yoes C. Kenawas, a political analyst at the Indonesian Survey Institute. With Mr. Gibran’s departure, “Prabowo is attempting to demonstrate that he has stepped out from Jokowi’s shadow,” he added, referring to the former leader by his nickname.
佐科最初是一名政治局外人，后来被视为印尼的一位变革型领导人。他帮助修复了普拉博沃的形象。普拉博沃曾是一名特种部队指挥官，因在独裁者苏哈托统治下参与绑架和折磨民主活动人士而被军队开除。在许多人看来，普拉博沃是该国威权主义过去的提醒。但佐科支持普拉博沃作为他的接班人，吉布兰则作为搭档参选。
Initially a political outsider, Mr. Joko came to be seen as a transformative leader of Indonesia. He helped rehabilitate the image of Mr. Prabowo, a former special forces commander who was discharged from the military for his involvement in the abduction and torture of pro-democracy activists under the dictator Suharto. To many, Mr. Prabowo was a reminder of the country’s authoritarian past. But Mr. Joko endorsed Mr. Prabowo as his successor, with Mr. Gibran running on the same ticket.
佐科和普拉博沃之间的联盟被塑造成政治延续性的联盟。许多选民曾将吉布兰担任副总统视为佐科延续其政治影响力的一种方式。
The alliance between Mr. Joko and Mr. Prabowo was cast as one of political continuity. Many voters had seen Mr. Gibran’s vice presidency as a way for Mr. Joko to continue his political influence.
印度尼西亚大学宪法学讲师蒂蒂·安格赖尼表示：“从一开始，吉布兰被拉入伙完全是为了充当‘票王’，而不是为了成为旨在加强普拉博沃政府履职表现的统一领导团队中不可或缺的一部分。”
“From the beginning, Gibran was brought on board solely to serve as a ‘vote-getter,’ rather than as an integral part of a unified leadership team intended to strengthen the performance of the Prabowo administration,” said Titi Anggraini, a lecturer of constitutional law at University of Indonesia.
普拉博沃执政两年的特点是其威权倾向和动摇了经济的民粹主义政策。最近几周，他的支持率骤降，使该国陷入了一个动荡的时刻，让人联想起三十年前苏哈托被赶下台的情景。
Mr. Prabowo’s two years in office have been dominated by his authoritarian tilt and populist policies that have rattled the economy. In recent weeks his approval rating has plummeted, leaving the country in a combustible moment that evokes the ouster of Suharto three decades ago.
目前尚不清楚吉布兰的辞职将于何时生效。在此之前，各方不断呼吁对其实施弹劾，指控他未能满足竞选公职的要求——即拥有同等学历的高中文凭，尽管他后来获得了大学学位。
It was not immediately clear when Mr. Gibran’s resignation would be effective. He is stepping down after mounting calls for impeachment over allegations that he had failed to meet a requirement to run for office — holding the equivalent of a high-school diploma — even though he later earned a university degree.
吉布兰曾表示，他在澳大利亚的一所学校完成了12年级学业。他面临两起案件，一起是对其高中学历提出质疑，另一起则试图以这些学历不合法为由将其免职。
Mr. Gibran has said that he finished grade 12 at a school in Australia. He has faced two cases, one that challenged his high school credentials and another that sought to remove him from office on the grounds that those credentials were illegitimate.
上个月，宪法法院表示，没有发现令人信服的证据证明吉布兰拥有相当于印尼高中毕业证的外国文凭。但该法院指出，其无权直接罢免他。
Last month, the Constitutional Court said that it had found no convincing evidence that Mr. Gibran possessed a foreign diploma equivalent to an Indonesian senior high school certificate. But it noted that it did not have the jurisdiction to unseat him directly.
两周前，最高法院再次给予沉重打击。最高法院撤销了教育部于2019年发给吉布兰的高中同等学历证书。但法官并未认定吉布兰伪造了文件，而是将裁决重心放在了行政合规上。
Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court delivered another blow. It revoked a high school equivalency certificate that was issued to Mr. Gibran by the Education Ministry in 2019. But the justices did not establish that Mr. Gibran had forged a document, centering their ruling instead on administrative compliance.
本月早些时候，佐科与普拉博沃联盟似乎出现了重大裂痕。包括普拉博沃办公厅主任在内的几名被视为与佐科关系密切的官员，因涉嫌监听总统而被捕。佐科周四表现出了调解的姿态。
Earlier this month, what appeared to be a seismic break in the Jokowi-Prabowo alliance emerged. Several officials, including Mr. Prabowo’s chief of staff, who were seen as close to Mr. Joko, were arrested on charges of wiretapping the president. Mr. Joko appeared to cast a conciliatory note on Thursday.
他对记者说：“我告诉过吉布兰，一个人担任的任何职位都只是暂时的；职位转瞬即逝。我们仍然致力于支持普拉博沃总统的政府，特别是在有利于广大民众的项目上。”导致吉布兰下台的争议有着不同寻常的家族相似性。
“I have told Gibran that any position one holds is only temporary; positions are fleeting,” he told reporters. “We remain committed to supporting President Prabowo’s administration, especially regarding programs that benefit the broader public.”The controversy that felled Mr. Gibran has an unusual family parallel.
佐科曾面临指控，称他伪造了大学文凭以获得竞选公职的资格。上周，佐科出现在雅加达的一家法庭上，展示了他来自加查马达大学的原版文凭，试图反驳长期以来对其真实性的指控。
Mr. Joko has faced claims that he doctored a university certificate to become eligible to run for office. Last week, Mr. Joko, appeared in a Jakarta courtroom to display his original diploma from Gadjah Mada University, seeking to rebut long-running allegations regarding its authenticity.
宪法法院在吉布兰登上副总统宝座的过程中发挥了至关重要的作用。在2023年的一次5比4的裁决中，该法院为正副总统候选人40岁的最低年龄限制破例，允许担任过民选地方职务的年轻候选人参选。现年39岁的吉布兰曾任梭罗市市长。
The Constitutional Court played a crucial role in Mr. Gibran’s ascendance to the vice presidency. In a 5-4 decision in 2023, it carved out an exception to the minimum age requirement of 40 for presidential and vice-presidential candidates, allowing younger candidates who had held elected regional office to run. Mr. Gibran, now 39, had been the mayor of the city of Surakarta.
决定性的投票由首席大法官安瓦尔·乌斯曼投出，他曾由佐科任命，后来娶了总统的妹妹。不久之后，一个道德委员会以存在利益冲突为由免去了安瓦尔的职务，但无法推翻法院的裁决。
The deciding vote was cast by Chief Justice Anwar Usman, who had been appointed by Mr. Joko and later married the president’s sister. Soon after, an ethics panel removed Mr. Anwar from his post, citing a conflict of interest, but it could not overturn the court’s decision.
