埃及最高法院解散議會 軍方重掌大權

Egypt's military rulers seized broad powers after the supreme constitutional court dissolved the country's first deMocratically elected parliament yesterday in what political observers said amounted to a coup deatat.

埃及最高法院昨日解散了該國第一屆民主選舉產生的議會，讓埃及軍方統治者獲得了廣泛權力，政治觀察家認爲這相當於一場政變。

The move came after the constitutional court ruled that a third of seats in the lower house were invalid, plunging the country into political uncertainty two days before presidential elections.

埃及憲法法院裁定，議會下院三分之一的議席無效，這使埃及在總統選舉的兩天前陷入政治不確定狀態。

It, in effect, cancels an Islamist-dominated parliament assembled over months of elections that were hailed as a triumph of democracy by the international community.

實際上，此舉意味着在幾個月的選舉期間組成的由伊斯蘭主義者主導的議會遭到取消，埃及的選舉曾被國際社會譽爲民主的勝利。

"The supreme court's decision is a full-scale coup," Mohamed Beltagy, a top official of the Muslim Brotherhood said in a statement on state television.

穆斯林兄弟會(Muslim Brotherhood)高級官員穆罕默德•貝勒塔吉(Mohamed Beltagy)在國家電視臺發表聲明表示，"最高法院的判決是一場不折不扣的政變。"

This weekend's run-off pits Ahmed Shafiq, a stalwart of the ousted regime of Hosni Mubarak, against Mohamed Morsi, an Islamist party leader despised by Egypt's old guard.

本週末的決勝選舉中，被趕下臺的胡斯尼·穆巴拉克(Hosni Mubarak)政府的老將艾哈邁德•沙菲克(Ahmed Shafiq)將與遭前政權詬病的伊斯蘭主義政黨領導人穆罕默德•穆爾西(Mohamed Morsi)對決。

The ruling, promptly enacted by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces–which has run Egypt since Mr Mubarak was overthrown – means that whoever wins the election will have no legislative body with which to work.

法院的裁定立即得到武裝部隊最高委員會（自穆巴拉克政權被推翻以來一直統治埃及）的頒佈。這項裁決意味着，不管誰贏得選舉，都沒有立法機構與其合作。

In a separate decision, the court, in effect, upheld the candidacy of Mr Shafiq. The rulings–made by a judicial panel featuring several Mubarak appointees – sparked fears of a military-led counter-revolution.

法院在另一項判決中，實際上支持了沙菲克的候選人資格。這些裁定由一個合議庭做出，其中幾名法官是穆巴拉克任命的，判決引發了人們對軍隊領導的反革命的擔憂。

"They [the military] are deluding themselves if they think the youth will let this pass," former presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh said.

"如果他們（埃及軍隊）認爲年輕人會接受這一安排，就無異於自欺欺人。"原總統候選人阿卜杜勒•穆奈姆•阿布福圖(Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh)表示。
