French and Polish Nationalist Leaders Align Their Goals for the European Union
法國與波蘭民族主義領導人就歐盟目標達成一致
Introduction
Jordan Bardella, the leader of France's National Rally, recently went on a two-day visit to Poland. His goal was to coordinate with right-wing political leaders before the 2027 French presidential elections.
法國國民陣線領導人 Jordan Bardella 最近對波蘭進行了為期兩天的訪問。他的目標是在 2027 年法國總統大選前，與右翼政治領袖進行協調。
Main Body
During his visit, Bardella held several important meetings with Polish politicians, including President Karol Nawrocki and Jarosław Kaczyński of the Law and Justice (PiS) party. These leaders want to create a conservative alliance to change how the European Union works. Bardella emphasized that the European Commission should support national sovereignty instead of acting as the primary governing power.
在訪問期間，Bardella 與波蘭政治人物舉行了多次重要會議，包括總統 Karol Nawrocki 和法律與公正黨 (PiS) 的 Jarosław Kaczyński。這些領導人希望建立一個保守派聯盟，以改變歐盟的運作方式。Bardella 強調，歐盟委員會應支持國家主權，而非扮演主要的治理權力角色。
Both sides agreed on the importance of border security and controlling migration. Bardella visited the Polish-Belarusian border and the Frontex headquarters in Warsaw to see how strict migration rules are working. He asserted that current migration pressures are actually 'hybrid' attacks organized by Belarus and Russia. Furthermore, the leaders expressed their opposition to the EU's Green Deal and the MERCOSUR trade agreement, arguing that these policies hurt their local farmers and industries.
雙方均同意邊境安全與控制移民的重要性。Bardella 參觀了波蘭與白俄羅斯的邊境以及位於華沙的 Frontex 總部，以視察嚴格的移民規則如何運作。他斷言目前的移民壓力實際上是由白俄羅斯與俄羅斯組織的「混合」攻擊。此外，領導人們對歐盟的《綠色政綱》和 MERCOSUR 貿易協定表示反對，認為這些政策損害了當地農民與工業。
Strategically, Bardella is trying to connect traditional conservatives with nationalist movements. This is especially important because Marine Le Pen may face legal problems, making Bardella the likely candidate for the National Rally in 2027. Meanwhile, the PiS party believes that if both France and Poland win their 2027 elections, they will be able to change EU policy in a decisive way.
在策略上，Bardella 試圖將傳統保守派與民族主義運動聯繫起來。這一點尤為重要，因為 Marine Le Pen 可能面臨法律問題，使得 Bardella 成為 2027 年國民陣線可能的候選人。同時，PiS 黨認為如果法國與波蘭在 2027 年選舉中均獲勝，他們將能以決定性的方式改變歐盟政策。
Conclusion
The visit ended with both parties promising to work toward a European system that focuses on national independence and strict border control.
訪問結束時，雙方承諾將共同努力，建立一個注重國家獨立與嚴格邊境管制的歐洲體系。
