Hungary passed a law to hand control of state universities to foundations. These are likely to be run by ruling-party supporters, who can appoint their successors. This arrangement cannot be changed without a two-thirds majority in parliament. Critics griped that the ruling party had in effect given itself permanent control of higher education. 

匈牙利通过了一项法律,将国立大学的控制权移交给基金会。这些基金会很可能由执政党的支持者管理,后者可以指定继任者。如果在议会没有赢得三分之二的多数席位,这一决定将无法改变。批评人士抱怨称,执政党实际上垄断了对高等教育的永久控制权。

Arlene Foster said she would step down as Northern Ireland’s first minister (or premier) in June following a revolt against her leadership in her Democratic Unionist Party.

Somalia’s president promised to reverse legislation that would extend his term in office by two years, after fighting broke out in the capital, Mogadishu. Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed was supposed to have stepped down in February.

In a leaked audio tape Muhammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, said that the Revolutionary Guard dictates foreign policy and took Iran into Syria’s civil war at the urging of Russia. He also said that Russia tried to stop Iran from agreeing to a nuclear deal in 2015. Talks to revive the deal, which America ditched in 2018, resumed in Vienna. 

在一段泄露的录音中,伊朗外长穆罕默德·贾瓦德·扎里夫表示,伊朗的外交政策由革命卫队主导,并在俄罗斯的敦促下将伊朗卷入叙利亚内战。他还表示,俄罗斯曾试图阻挠伊朗在2015年达成一项核协议。美国在2018年退出了该协议,而旨在重返该协议的谈判在维也纳举行。

In Israel Benny Gantz, the leader of the Blue and White party, was appointed justice minister after Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, tried to slide a member of his own party, Likud, into the position. Mr Netanyahu’s move was deemed illegal by the attorney-general, as it violated the coalition agreement with Mr Gantz. The appointment is a sensitive issue: Mr Netanyahu is on trial for corruption. 

在以色列,蓝白党领袖本尼·甘茨被任命为司法部长。此前,以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡试图举荐自己政党利库德集团(Likud)的一名成员。内塔尼亚胡的举动被总检察长认为是非法的,违反了与甘茨的联盟条约。这一任命是一个敏感的问题:内塔尼亚胡正在因腐败受审。
