一场反对燃油价格上涨的在线运动在计划于10月17日举行的全国性示威活动之前势头正盛,前“黄背心”运动人物将加入抗议行动,以支持正在抗议的高中生。有人将最新行动与2018年动摇埃马纽埃尔·马克龙总统首个任期的生活成本抗议运动进行类比。发布于:经过数周的学生抗议,法国是否即将迎来“黄背心”运动的复苏?
An online movement against rising fuel prices has gained momentum ahead of planned nationwide demonstrations on October 17 with former Yellow Vest figures set to join the protests in support of high-school students. Some are drawing parallels between the latest action and the 2018 cost-of-living protests that rattled President Emmanuel Macron's first term in office.

抗议、环岛路封锁以及在加油站和油库前聚集等行动,都计划在周六的全国性示威活动中进行。
Protests, roundabout blockades and gatherings in front of gas stations and oil depots are among the actions planned for Saturday’s nationwide demonstrations.
周四在网站17octobregiletjaune.net上发布的一张地图显示,全国范围内计划有超过1000场活动,旨在谴责燃油价格上涨,并支持已经持续近一个月、要求改善课堂条件的高中生抗议者。
A map published on Thursday on the website 17octobregiletjaune.net listed more than 1,000 events plannd around the country to denounce rising fuel prices and support high-school students who have been protesting for nearly a month to demand better classroom conditions.

It was later backed by left-wing politicians including Communist Party leader Fabien Roussel and Green leader Marine Tondelier.
周六计划的示威活动最初并未与最初的“黄背心”运动挂钩,后者始于2018年,当时因燃油价格上涨而爆发广泛抗议,随后演变为反对经济不平等的更大规模起义,吸引了数万人走上街头。“黄背心”这一名称源自法国法律要求司机随车携带的荧光黄高可见度安全背心,抗议者在示威期间曾佩戴此类背心。
Saturday's planned demonstrations were not initially linked to the original Yellow Vest movement, which began in 2018 with widespread protests over rising fuel prices before growing into a broader revolt against economic inequality that drew tens of thousands onto the streets. The movement takes its name from the fluorescent yellow high-visibility vests that French law requires drivers to carry in their vehicles and which protesters wore during demonstrations.
一些“黄背心”运动的前领袖人物最初对最新的抗议行动持保留态度,其中包括马克西姆“飞骑手”尼科尔(Maxime 'Fly Rider' Nicolle),他最近宣布,在改变主意决定参与后,将前往巴黎参加示威。
Some of the Yellow Vests' former leading figures were initially wary of the latest protest action, including Maxime 'Fly Rider' Nicolle, who recently announced that he would travel to Paris to demonstrate after changing his mind about participating.
没有黄背心背后策划了(10月17日的抗议)。现在,只要人们谈论燃油和不满,就会立刻被贴上“黄背心”的标签。这几乎已经成为一个品牌,”黄背心运动的重要人物杰罗姆·罗德里格斯说,他在2019年一次抗议中被橡皮弹手榴弹击中后失去了一只眼睛。
"No Yellow Vest was behind the (October 17 protests). Now, as soon as people talk about fuel and discontent, they are immediately labelled 'Yellow Vests'. It's almost become a brand," said Jérôme Rodrigues, a prominent figure in the Yellow Vest movement who lost an eye after being struck by a rubber-ball grenade during a protest in 2019.
在2018-2019年的抗议期间,近两打人失去了一只眼睛,主要是被警察发射的橡皮子弹击中所致。总计,一年内有2500名抗议者和1800名警察受伤。法国的群众控制策略引发了广泛批评,包括来自联合国的批评,并在高中生抗议中再次受到审查。
During the 2018-2019 protests, nearly two-dozen people suffered the loss of an eye, mainly after being hit by rubber bullets fired by police. In total, 2,500 protesters and 1,800 police officers were injured over the course of a year. France's crowd-control tactics drew widespread criticism, including from the United Nations, and have come under renewed scrutiny amid the high-school student protests.
“我们事先没有与其他重要人物协调一致号召抗议,但当我们看到警察对高中生使用暴力时,我们都有了同样的反应,”另一位重要的黄背心人物弗朗索瓦·布洛对法新社表示。“比那时更严重”罗德里格斯认为周六的示威是高中生抗议的延续,称学生们所面临的警察“镇压”与黄背心运动所经历的类似。
“We didn't coordinate beforehand with other prominent figures to call for protests but we all had the same reaction when we saw the police violence against high-school students,” François Boulo, another prominent Yellow Vest figure, told AFP. 'More serious than back then' Rodrigues sees Saturday's demonstration as a continuation of the high-school student protests, saying students have faced police “repression” similar to that experienced by the Yellow Vests.
与此同时,警方已对36起警员对抗议者使用暴力的指控展开内部调查,其中包括四名据称被爆炸性武器“致残”的儿童和六名遭受“重大伤害”的人。其他投诉还包括身体殴打、辱骂和所谓的性侵犯。
Police meanwhile have opened internal investigations into 36 claims of officer violence against protesters, including four children who were allegedly "mutilated" by explosive weapons and six who suffered "significant injuries." Other complaints included physical blows, insults, and alleged sexual assault.
罗德里格斯表示,这些抗议反映了工人、家庭和退休人员对未来的共同担忧,他们正面临消费品和燃油价格上涨的问题。“但我们也在谈论我们的高中生和整体青少年的未来,学校破败、教师短缺和班级过度拥挤,”他说。
Rodrigues said the protests reflected shared concerns over the future of workers, families and pensioners facing rising consumer and fuel prices. “But we are also talking about the future of our high-school students and young people as a whole, with dilapidated schools, staff shortages and overcrowded classrooms," he said.
我们都因这条共同的纽带而相连。最终,黄背心的诉求变得更加迫切,因为情况比当时更为严重,”他补充道。
"We are all connected by this common thread. Ultimately, the Yellow Vests' demands have become more pressing because the situation is even more serious than it was back then," he added.
与2018年不同的形势 活动家索菲·蒂西尔也看到2018年抗议活动与周六的动员之间存在相似之处。她是在2018年运动期间首次向巴黎警察预备官方登记黄背心示威的人——这一策略旨在将抗议活动纳入主流,但却在群体内部引发了批评。
A different landscape from 2018 Activist Sophie Tissier also sees parallels between the 2018.protests and Saturday's mobilisation. She was the first to officially Yellow Vest demonstrations with the Paris police prefecture during the 2018 movement – a strategy that was intended to bring the protests into the mainstream, but that drew criticism from within the group.
对于周六,她说她在香榭丽舍大街登记了示威活动,就像她在黄背心抗议活动高峰期所做的那样。
For Saturday, she said she had registered a demonstration on the Champs-Élysées, as she did at the height of the Yellow Vest protests.
“这一运动完全合法。法国人已经筋疲力尽,”蒂西尔说。“他们对公共服务的解体已经无法忍受。随着能源和燃料价格上涨,生活水平急剧下降。此外,他们对充斥着丑闻的政治阶层也产生了深深的厌恶。”蒂西尔表示,问题的根源在于“一个功能失调的政治体系”。
“This movement is entirely legitimate. French people are exhausted,” Tissier said. “They've had enough of the dismantling of public services. The standard of living has dropped dramatically with the rise in energy and fuel prices. And then there's a deep disgust with a political class riddled with scandals.”Tissier said that the root of the problem is "a dysfunctional political system".
“权力没有分离。我们声称自己生活在一个健康的民主和共和国中。实际上,我们根本不是这样,”她说,回忆起黄背心通过公民倡议公投(在法国称为RIC)要求更大程度的参与式民主的诉求。
"There is no separation of powers. We claim to live in a healthy democracy and republic. In reality, we don't at all,” she said, recalling the Yellow Vests' demand for greater participatory democracy through a citizens' initiative referendum, known in France as the RIC.
但最初的黄背心也承认当前抗议与2018年兴起的运动之间存在差异。
But original Yellow Vests also acknowledge differences between the current protests and the movement that emerged in 2018.
“黄背心从未被政党收编,因为大多数时候,一旦(政客们)出现,他们就会被立即赶走,”罗德里格斯说。“如今,高中生们相当程度上受到某些政党的密切指导。因此,与我们过去习惯组织的自发示威相比,框架更具制度性一些。”对参与人数的不确定性 环保组织和一个农民工会也号召人们周六参加抗议活动。
“The Yellow Vests were never co-opted by a political party because most of the time, as soon as (politicians) showed up, they were immediately kicked out,” Rodrigues said. “Today, the high-school students are quite closely guided by certain political parties. So, the framework is a little more institutional compared with the spontaneous demonstrations we were used to organising.”Uncertainty over turnout Environmental groups and a farmer's union have also called on people to join the protests on Saturday.
然而,左翼强硬的CGT(法国总劳工联盟)工会采取了更为谨慎的态度,表示只要条件具备,它就会参与其中,同时将重点放在11月5日,届时法国主要工会已号召罢工。
However, the hard-left CGT (General Confederation of Labour) union has taken a more cautious approach, saying it would take part "wherever the conditions are met" while keeping its focus on November 5, when France's main trade unions have called for strikes.
蒂西埃表示,她目前还未看到不同抗议运动和高中生之间出现真正的汇合。参加完周二的示威后,她说没有出现“真正的凝聚力”,并批评了她所说的激进左翼——从共产党到法国不屈——试图挟持该运动的尝试。
Tissier said she did not yet see a genuine convergence between the different protest movements and the high-school students. After attending Tuesday's demonstration, she said there was no “real cohesion”, criticising what she described as attempts by the radical left, “from the Communist Party to France Unbowed”, to co-opt the movement.
随着10月17日的临近,社交媒体上的热情是否会转化为显著的参与人数仍不清楚,特别是随着法国秋季学校假期的开始。
With October 17 approaching, it remains unclear whether the enthusiasm on social media will translate into significant turnout, particularly as France's autumn school holidays begin.
普莉西拉·卢多斯基持怀疑态度。她在2018年发起的一项要求降低油价的请愿书获得了超过100万签名,并帮助点燃了黄背心抗议运动。
Priscilla Ludosky, whose 2018 petition calling for lower fuel prices at the pump gathered more than 1 million signatures and helped spark the Yelloow Vest protests, is sceptical.
“人们常说我们的运动是自发的。完全不是这样。它可能看起来有些混乱……但自从我的请愿书发起以来,我们已经围绕这个问题积累了超过六个月的势头,然后将全法国的人联系在一起。当我们向媒体发送一张显示Facebook上已宣布700次集会的地图时,它才变得具体起来,”她说。
“People often say our movement was spontaneous. Not at all. It may have seemed disorganized …but we had been building momentum around the issue for more than six months with my petition, then connecting people across France. When we sent the media a map showing 700 gatherings announced on Facebook, it became tangible,” she said.
“在这里,没有人站出来响应这些号召。我们不知道该跟随谁,也不清楚10月17日的规模会有多大,”卢多斯基对《记者报》说。
“Here, no one is putting themselves forward behind these calls. We don't know who to follow or how large October 17 will be,” Ludosky told Reporterre.
一位内政部门人士的消息来源称,周六全国可能会有大约250场抗议行动。
A source close to the interior minister said around 250 protest actions could take place nationwide on Saturday.
罗德里格斯也对能否出现类似2018年11月那场运动规模的抗议持谨慎态度。但他仍希望看到黄背心运动的复苏。
Rodrigues is also cautious about the prospects of a movement on the scale of the one that emerged in November 2018. However, he still hopes to see a resurgence of the Yellow Vests.
“作为黄背心,我们仍然带着未完成斗争的挫败感。也许我们一直在等待一场我们可以加入的新一轮大众动员,以便我们能够完成我们开始的事情。”本文译自法语原文。
