引言

2020年美国总统选举结束后,选举否认者在美国政坛上引起了广泛关注。近日,荷兰企业Philips和Ahold被曝出在2021年至2024年期间,向26位否认2020年选举结果的美国国会成员捐款。这一行为引发了公众对捐助和民主之间关系的质疑。本文将深入探讨此事,揭示荷兰企业在美政治捐款的真相。

主体

  1. 捐款事实

根据荷兰NRC报道,Philips和Ahold在2021年至2024年期间,向26位否认2020年选举结果的美国国会成员捐款。其中,Philips捐款7.6万美元,Ahold Delhaize捐款2.05万美元。这些款项主要用于支持这些国会成员在2022年的竞选活动。

  1. 捐款途径

在美国,公司不得直接向政治人物捐款,但可以通过政治行动委员会(PACs)进行。PACs是游说组织,为政治候选人提供竞选捐款。Philips和Ahold通过其PAC向美国国会成员捐款,其中大部分款项流向了那些投票反对2020年选举结果的共和党人。

  1. 捐款影响

Philips的PAC自2021年以来已向美国国会捐款约27万美元,其中超过四分之一流向了那些投票反对2020年选举结果的共和党人。Philips向伊利诺伊州众议员迈克尔·博斯特捐款最多,共计1.25万美元。宾夕法尼亚州的吉·雷斯滕塔尔也获得了1.1万美元的捐款。在采访中,雷斯滕塔尔表示,邮寄选票在截止日期后收到并被错误计数的说法是错误的,他还否认唐纳德·特朗普对国会大厦冲击负有责任。

结论

荷兰企业Philips和Ahold涉嫌向否认2020年选举结果的美国国会成员捐款,引发了对捐助和民主之间关系的质疑。这一事件暴露出企业在美政治捐款的潜在风险,呼吁公众关注这一问题,并加强对企业政治捐款的监管。
