法國國民陣線創始人遭女兒開除
France’s National Front (FN) has ousted its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen in an effort to shed its extremist image and increase its chances of taking power in the 2017 presidential election.
法國國民陣線(National Front)罷免了其創始人讓-馬裏勒龐(Jean-Marie Le Pen)，試圖消除其極端主義形象，提升在2017年總統選舉中掌權的機會。
In a statement on Thursday night, the party said it had taken the decision to expel the 87-year-old veteran of French politics after a meeting lasting several hours, during which the executive board “deliberated and decided, by the required majority, to exclude Mr Jean-Marie Le Pen as a member”.
在週四晚上的一份聲明中，該黨表示已決定開除這位現年87歲的法國政界資深人士。該黨是在一場持續了幾個小時的會議之後做出這一決定的。在會上，該黨執行董事會曾“經過深思熟慮，以必要的多數票決定解除讓-馬裏勒龐的黨員身份”。
The decision is a clear victory for Marine Le Pen, the party’s current leader and Mr Le Pen’s daughter, who has been locked in a power struggle with her father.
這一決定是該黨現任領導人、勒龐女兒馬琳勒龐(Marine Le Pen)的一次明確勝利。此前，馬琳勒龐與其父一直處於權鬥之中。
Ms Le Pen, who has tried to present the party her father founded in 1972 as a more moderate force in French politics, decided that enough was enough in April when her father repeated comments about the Nazi gas chambers being a mere “detail” of history.
對於其父於1972年創立的這個黨派，馬琳勒龐一直試圖令其在法國政壇表現爲一支更溫和的力量。今年4月，當其父重申納粹(Nazi)毒氣室只是個歷史“細節”問題的言論時，馬琳勒龐認定她已受夠了。
He also said that France should support Russia as part of a push to save what he described as the “white world”.
讓-馬裏勒龐還曾表示，法國應該支持俄羅斯，以拯救他所謂的“白人世界”。
Following Thursday’s expulsion, Mr Le Pen told France’s iTélé news channel: “There is indignation; there is sadness. It’s always trying when one has the feeling of not having made any mistake, of having expressed one’s opinion as a politician.”
在週四被國民陣線開除後，讓-馬裏勒龐向法國iTélé新聞頻道表示：“這事令人憤慨；這事令人悲哀。如果一個人感覺沒犯任何錯，只是以政客身份發表了自己的看法，那麼這樣的遭遇就會令人非常難受。”
Frederic Joachim, Mr Le Pen’s lawyer, called the move “a political assassination”.
讓-馬裏勒龐的律師弗雷德裏克若阿基姆(Frederic Joachim)稱此舉是“一次政治上的刺殺”。
Mr Le Pen is likely to appeal against the decision in court. He has resorted to legal action several times in recent months with some success.
讓-馬裏勒龐可能會向法庭申請駁回這一決定。最近幾個月，他曾多次採取法律手段，並曾取得一些成功。
