保加利亞選出總理拉德夫盟友伊利亞娜・約托娃為首位女性總統
索菲亞，11月2日（路透社）——官方結果週一顯示，保加利亞已選出伊利亞娜・約托娃為該國首位女性總統，這為支持她角逐這個主要屬禮儀性職務的總理魯門・拉德夫帶來政治助力。SOFIA, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Bulgaria has elected Iliana Iotova as its first female president, official results showed on Monday, providing a political boost for Prime Minister Rumen Radev who had backed her for the largely ceremonial role.
61歲的約托娃在週日決選中拿下57.6%的選票；她的對手、50歲的前看守總理安德烈・久羅夫（Andrey Gyurov）則獲得39.5%。Iotova, 61, won 57.6% of the votes cast in Sunday's run-off contest, while her rival, former caretaker prime minister Andrey Gyurov, 50, won 39.5%.
這場總統選舉的背景，是過去一個月在北約與歐盟成員國保加利亞的黑海沿岸外海，發生一連串針對商船的無人機攻擊。這些攻擊已造成至少24名海員喪生，引發國際譴責，也加深外界對烏克蘭戰爭影響範圍擴大的憂慮。The presidential vote comes against the backdrop of a series of drone attacks in the past month on merchant ships off the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, a NATO and European Union member state. The attacks have killed at least 24 seafarers, sparked international condemnation and stoked concerns about the growing reach of the war in Ukraine.
約托娃與久羅夫都已譴責這些攻擊。拉德夫表示，這些攻擊的結果「有利於俄羅斯聯邦」。Both Iotova and Gyurov have condemned the attacks. Radev said the strikes' outcome "benefits the Russian Federation".
約托娃曾任歐洲議會議員；今年1月，拉德夫辭職投入國會選舉並勝選後，她成為保加利亞代理總統。許多政治分析人士認為，拉德夫當時是以親克里姆林宮的陣營參選。Iotova, a former member of the European Parliament, became Bulgaria's acting president in January after Radev resigned to enter — and win — a parliamentary race on what many political analysts considered a Kremlin-friendly ticket.
拉德夫與約托娃都曾呼籲以外交方式結束俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭。Both he and Iotova have called for a diplomatic end to Russia's war in Ukraine.
久羅夫今年曾擔任看守總理，他在總統競選期間獲得親西方改革派政黨支持，並且長期表達對烏克蘭的支持。他在擔任總理期間，曾與基輔簽署安全合作協議。Gyurov, who served as caretaker prime minister this year, secured the support of pro-Western, reformist parties during his presidential campaign and he has long expressed support for Ukraine. He signed a security cooperation agreement with Kyiv during his time as premier.
在保加利亞，國會掌握大多數決策權。In Bulgaria, parliament holds most decision-making powers.
