ハリソン・フォード氏、米移民政策を非難　グレタさんを称賛

【メキシコ市ＡＦＰ＝時事】米俳優のハリソン・フォード氏（77）が5日、主演最新作のプロモーションのため訪れたメキシコ首都メキシコ市で、環境問題や移民問題における米国の「道徳的リーダーシップ」は崩壊したと非難した。（写真はメキシコ市で、主演最新作『野性の呼び声』の記者会見を前に写真撮影に応じる米俳優のハリソン・フォード氏）
　ハリウッドスターのフォード氏は記者団に対し、「われわれは道徳上のリーダーシップを必要としている。私たちは己の信頼性をいくらか失い、それを取り戻そうと躍起になっている」と語った。
　フォード氏は、米作家ジャック・ロンドンの小説を基にした、１８９０年代のアラスカが舞台のアドベンチャー映画『野性の呼び声』の取材を受けるためにメキシコ市を訪れていた。
　その中でフォード氏は、「移民政策の抜本的な改革が必要だ」と発言。「われわれは国（米国）に人々を呼び込む必要があり、締め出す必要はない。歴史を見れば明らかなように、米国は移民を頼りにしている」と述べた。
　フォード氏はまた、スウェーデンの環境活動家グレタ・トゥンベリさん（１７）に感銘を受けているとコメント。「若者にとっての彼女の役割や、彼女の勇気に敬服している。また、その自己表現力にも感心している」と語り、環境問題の取り組みでは「若者たちが指導的役割を担っているようだ」と述べた。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Harrison Ford, in Mexico City on Wednesday to promote his latest film, decried the collapse of US moral leadership on issues such as improving the environment and immigration policy.
We need moral leadership. We've lost some of our credibility and we are anxious to regain it, the Hollywood star told reporters.
Ford was in town to talk about his starring role in The Call of the Wild, an adventure film set in Alaska in the 1890s and based on a novel by US author Jack London.
Relaxed and smiling, the veteran actor also touched on his iconic Hollywood roles in the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Blade Runner movies.
A fifth Indiana Jones movie, starring as the swashbuckling archaeologist with the unusual first name, is also in the works.
To do another 'Indiana Jones' movie, it seems like a good idea, if we had a good script and I believe we are very close to have the script that we really want, so I am excited about the idea, he said.
Speaking on the day the US senate acquitted President Donald Trump on impeachment charges of abusing his office and obstructing Congress, Ford got sidetracked talking about politics.
We need a complete reform of our immigration policies, said Ford, 77.
Cracking down on migrants has been a primary focus of Trump's administration.
We need to invite people into the country, and not to keep them out. This is the history and America depends on immigration, Ford said.
Yet despite the lack of commitment from the United States government, efforts are being made towards immigration reform and improving the environment, he said.
He was especially impressed with Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg.
I admire her role representing to young people, her courage. Also, I admire her capacity to express herself... It seems young people have a leadership role in environmental activism.
