纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼周四在回顾其上任首100天时表示,他认为民主社会主义“可在任何地方蓬勃发展”。

“我认为这种政治理念可以在任何地方蓬勃发展,因为坦率地说,这个国家只有一个多数群体——那就是工人阶级。现在是时候让我们的政治将他们置于我们所追求的核心位置,而不是把他们当作可有可无的附属部分,”曼达尼在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》采访时说道。

他表示,在成为纽约市市长之前,他“曾被告知你只能在皇后区西北部践行民主社会主义”。

“后来我当选了市长,现在下一个目标是州一级,之后会是全国层面,”他说。

曼达尼于1月1日宣誓就职,并迅速兑现了他向纽约选民做出的部分关键竞选承诺,包括扩大免费儿童保育项目、设立社区安全办公室,以及宣布纽约市首个市属杂货店的选址。但他最受瞩目的几项承诺,包括租金冻结和取消城市公交收费,仍处于搁置状态。

曼达尼表示,他为团队在首100天内取得的工作成果感到自豪。

“我们正在取得此前被认为不可能实现的进展,”他说。

曼达尼提到了填补租金管制住房相关委员会空缺的工作,相关决定将于今年夏季公布。在公交方面,他表示:“我们已经在为超过100万纽约市民加快公交运行速度,为他们每人节省了6分钟的通勤时间”,同时正与奥尔巴尼方面合作推动公交免费政策。

“我们在推进所有这些工作的同时,也兑现了此前承诺,在解决经济负担问题之前,首先保障公共安全,这是我们议程的关键部分,”曼达尼说道。

曼达尼还称赞了他与纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔共同推动的一项税收政策,对价值超过500万美元且非纽约本地人拥有的第二套住房征税。

“我们将通过这项新的第二住宅税直接为该市筹集5亿美元资金,”他说。“这清楚地表明,我们不仅要改革此前一直损害工薪阶层的税收体系,还要通过对最富有人群小幅增税,打造更公平的税收制度。”

他发表此番言论之际,尽管存在政治分歧,特朗普总统仍对曼达尼持友好态度。去年11月在一场令人意外的白宫会晤中,特朗普先生对这位新任市长大加赞赏。两人承诺携手合作,让纽约变得更好,并于2月再次会面讨论住房开发问题。

曼达尼周四表示,他与总统保持着联系,并补充道:“我们坦诚地承认,我们存在诸多分歧。”

“我们有一个共识点,那就是我们都热爱纽约市,”他说。“我认为这也是我们每次对话的核心主题:我们如何才能让这座城市变得更好?因为我们两人都公开表示过,这座城市发展得越好,我们的感受就越好。”

两人存在分歧的关键领域之一是伊朗战争。这位市长表示,他“强烈反对这场战争”,并补充道,这“不仅应该从政治层面、经济层面加以反对,坦率地说,还应该从道德层面加以反对”。

“我们谈论的是花费近300亿美元在大洋彼岸杀死数千人,而与此同时我们却被告知,甚至连这笔资金的零头都拿不出来,帮助全美各地的工薪阶层美国人,”曼达尼说道。

根据上周公布的马里斯特民调,在即将迎来上任100天之际,曼达尼的支持率为48%。与此同时,30%的纽约市居民表示不认可他的工作表现,23%的居民表示不确定。

Mamdani believes democratic socialism “can flourish anywhere,” says he and Trump share love of New York City

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Thursday as he reflected on his first 100 days in office that he believes democratic socialism “can flourish anywhere.”

“I think that this is a politics that can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that’s the working class. And it’s time we have politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we’re pursuing, and not as part of the appendix,” Mamdani said in an interview on “CBS Mornings.”

He said that before he became mayor of New York City, he “was told that you could only be a democratic socialist in northwest Queens.”

“Then I became the mayor, now the next question is the state, then it’ll be, the next question will be the country,” he said.

The mayor was sworn in on Jan. 1 and quickly moved to deliver some of his key campaign promises to New Yorkers, including expanding free child care programs, creating an Office of Community Safety and announcing the site of New York City’s first city-run grocery store. But some of his most highly touted pledges, including a rent freeze and making city buses free, remain stalled.

Mamdani said he’s proud of the work his team accomplished over the first 100 days.

“We’re seeing the kind of progress we were told was impossible,” he said.

Mamdani pointed to the work to fill vacancies on the board that has a say in rent-stabilized housing, and a decision is forthcoming this summer. On buses, he said, “we’re already speeding up buses for more than a million New Yorkers, putting six minutes back in their pockets,” while working with Albany to make buses free.

“We’re doing all of it while also accomplishing the same thing that we said we would do, before even affordability, which is public safety, and that is a key part of our agenda,” Mamdani said.

Mamdani also touted the move, alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, to pursue a tax on secondary homes worth more than $5 million and owned by non-New Yorkers.

“We’re going to be raising $500 million for the city directly from this new pied-à-terre tax,” he said. “And it is a clear example of not only a system of taxation that has been hurting working people, but now one that will be fairer by taxing the wealthiest just a little bit more.”

His comments come as President Trump has been friendly toward Mamdani despite their political differences. At a stunning White House meeting in November, Mr. Trump praised the incoming mayor profusely. The two men pledged to work together to make New York better and met again in February to talk about housing development.

Mamdani said Thursday that he and the president are in touch, adding “we are honest, direct about the fact that we have many disagreements.”

“There is one place of agreement that we have, which is that we both love New York City,” he said. “And that’s, I think, something that is at the heart of every conversation we have is, how can we make the city better? Because both of us have said publicly that the better the city does, the better we feel.”

One key area of disagreement is on the war in Iran. The mayor said he’s “deeply opposed to the war,” adding that it’s something that “should be opposed not just on a political level or an economic level, but frankly, a moral level.”

“We’re talking about spending close to $30 billion to kill thousands of people an ocean away, while we’re told that we don’t have even an ounce of that money to help working class Americans across this country,” Mamdani said.

Mamdani’s approval rating stood at 48% as he approached 100 days in office, according to a Marist poll released last week. Meanwhile, 30% of New York City residents said they disapprove of his job performance, and 23% said they were unsure.
