For the Swedish-Sami politician Åsa Larsson Blind, it was something of a watershed moment(分水岭时刻,转折点) in the national conversation around Indigenous(原住民的,土著的) rights.
对于瑞典萨米族政治家奥萨·拉尔森·布林德来说,这堪称全国原住民权利讨论中的一个分水岭时刻。
In late April and May, as the country geared up for(为……做准备) this month’s elections, the deputy(副职,副手) prime minister and energy minister, Ebba Busch, gave a series of speeches and articles publicly attacking the Sami’s rights to graze(放牧,吃草) reindeer herds on their ancestral(祖先的,祖传的) lands. Reindeer husbandry(饲养业,农牧业), Busch said at one press conference, “is an industry that affects very large areas, but has limited economic significance”.
在四月下旬和五月,随着全国为本月选举做准备,副首相兼能源部长埃巴·布什发表了一系列演讲和文章,公开攻击萨米人在其祖传土地上放牧驯鹿群的权利。布什在一次新闻发布会上说,驯鹿饲养“是一个影响面积很大的产业,但经济意义有限”。
Her Christian Democrats party, a junior partner(次要伙伴,较小合伙人) in Sweden’s three-party centre-right coalition(联合政府,联盟) government, called for(呼吁,要求) reindeer numbers to be cut, for reindeer husbandry to no longer be considered a “national interest” and for the state to “reclaim(收回,重新主张) responsibility” for land used by herders.
她所在的基督教民主党是瑞典三党中右翼联合政府中的较小伙伴党,该党呼吁削减驯鹿数量,不再将驯鹿饲养视为“国家利益”,并要求国家“重新承担”对牧民所用土地的责任。
