馬斯：加泰羅尼亞尚未做好“真正獨立”的準備

Catalonia’s former leader has warned that the region is not yet ready for “real independence” as companies ramp up pressure on the separatist government to back away from a formal breakaway next week.

前加泰羅尼亞領袖警告稱，該地區(qū)還沒有做好“真正的獨立”的準備。與此同時，一些企業(yè)加大了對加泰羅尼亞分離主義政府的壓力，要求該政府放棄在下周正式脫離西班牙的打算。

The calls for the separatists to moderate or delay their plans came as the Spanish government approved a decree that makes it easier for firms to move their official headquarters out of Catalonia. Gas Natural said it was temporarily moving its legal HQ to Madrid, while CaixaBank said it would move its legal HQ to Valencia to “protect the interests of customers, shareholders and employees”.

要求分離主義分子緩和或者推遲其獨立計劃的呼聲是在西班牙政府批準了一項法令之際發(fā)出的，該法令使企業(yè)能夠更容易地將其官方總部移出加泰羅尼亞。西班牙公司Gas Natural表示，已暫時將總部轉移到馬德里，而CaixaBank表示，將把總部轉移到巴倫西亞以“保護客戶、股東和雇員的利益”。

In remarks that will be seen as an appeal for caution, Artur Mas, the former Catalan president and leader of the governing pro-independence PDeCat party, said the region had yet to lay the groundwork for “real independence”.

前加泰羅尼亞自治區(qū)主席、親獨立的PDeCat黨領袖阿圖爾•馬斯(Artur Mas，見上圖)表示，該地區(qū)還沒有為“真正的獨立”做好準備。

Mr Mas told the FT that the region had “won the right to become an independent state” but acknowledged that there was a debate among Catalan leaders whether now was the time to issue a unilateral declaration of independence.

馬斯告訴英國《金融時報》，該地區(qū)“贏得了成為一個獨立國家的權利”，但他承認，在加泰羅尼亞的領袖們中，存在有關現(xiàn)在是否是單方面宣布獨立的好時機的辯論。

He emphasised the need to remain pragmatic and take into account the likely backlash from Madrid.

他強調需要繼續(xù)務實，考慮馬德里有可能做出的反擊。

Hardliners from the far-left Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) are demanding a quick break with Spain, but Carles Puigdemont, the president of the Catalan regional government, has been under growing pressure from his more moderate supporters to delay a declaration of independence.

極左翼的CUP黨中的強硬派要求與西班牙迅速“分手”，但加泰羅尼亞自治區(qū)主席卡萊斯•普伊格德蒙特(Carles Puigdemont)正承受來自溫和派支持者的日益強大的壓力，他們要求推遲宣布獨立。

Santi Vila, another member of the PDeCat party, has also called for more time for dialogue, saying that a declaration of independence would lead to a “suspension of self-government” and “conflicts” in the street.

PDeCat黨的另一名成員桑蒂•維拉(Santi Vila)也呼吁留出更多時間進行對話，稱宣布獨立將導致“自治政府被暫停運作”和街頭“沖突”。

Following Sunday’s independence referendum, when 2m Catalans voted to split from Spain, the Catalan parliament is set to meet on Monday to discuss the referendum results and decide what to do next.

上周日，該地區(qū)舉行獨立公投，200萬加泰羅尼亞人投票選擇脫離西班牙。加泰羅尼亞議會計劃在周一舉行會議，討論公投結果并決定下一步的行動。

The Spanish constitutional court has suspended the session, but on Friday the Catalan foreign chief, Raül Romeva, said that “there would be a session in the Catalan parliament on Monday”.

西班牙憲法法院已經(jīng)裁定中止這次會議，但周五加泰羅尼亞對外事務負責人勞爾•羅梅瓦(Raül Romeva)表示，“周一加泰羅尼亞議會將會召開會議”。

“The parliament will hold a debate, it will meet, there will be a debate,” he told the BBC. Meanwhile, Mr Puigdemont, who has spent a lifetime campaigning for Catalan independence, has requested to address lawmakers on Tuesday.

“議會將舉行辯論，(議員)將會面，將有一場辯論，”他告訴英國廣播公司(BBC)。同時，加泰羅尼亞自治區(qū)主席普伊格德蒙特要求在周二對議員們發(fā)表講話。普伊格德蒙特畢生都在爭取加泰羅尼亞獨立。
