En d\u00e9cembre 1988, une dizaine de paysans guat\u00e9malt\u00e8ques, tous du m\u00eame village, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 assassin\u00e9s. Je me trouvais dans ce pays o\u00f9 nous avions rencontr\u00e9 la consul de France pour un tout autre motif, mais bien entendu nous avions \u00e9voqu\u00e9 avec elle ce crime sordide. La police accusait une des factions les moins radicales des gu\u00e9rilleros d\u2019en \u00eatre les auteurs, et j\u2019avais demand\u00e9 \u00e0 notre aimable interlocutrice pourquoi. La technique d\u2019assassinat \u00e9tait celle utilis\u00e9e couramment par l\u2019arm\u00e9e, qui accusait les gu\u00e9rilleros, tout \u00e7a \u00e9tait facile \u00e0 comprendre, mais pourquoi les moins violents de tous.<\/strong>
In December 1988, a dozen Guatemalan peasants, all from the same village, were murdered. I was in this country where we had met the French consul for a completely different reason, but of course we had discussed this sordid crime with her. The police were accusing one of the less radical factions of the guerrillas of being the perpetrators, and I had asked our amiable interlocutor why. The assassination technique was the one commonly used by the army, which accused the guerrillas, all that was easy to understand, but why the least violent of all.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elle nous avait traduit le message\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Vous savez que nous sommes les coupables, mais vous devez faire comme si nous disions la v\u00e9rit\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb C\u2019\u00e9tait une fa\u00e7on de faire la preuve de leur pouvoir totalitaire. De terroriser une population d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9cras\u00e9e. Le message \u00e9tait d\u2019autant plus fort si on accusait des gu\u00e9rilleros peu port\u00e9s sur les actions violentes. <\/strong>
She translated the message for us: \u00ab\u00a0You know we’re the culprits, but you have to act like we were telling the truth. \u00bb It was a way of demonstrating their totalitarian power. To terrorize an already crushed population. The message was all the stronger if they accused guerrillas with little interest in violent actions.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Avant que nous quittions son bureau, elle nous avait instamment pri\u00e9s de parler, de raconter ce qui se passait dans ce pays, par ailleurs si beau. \u00ab\u00a0Nous, ici, nous ne pouvons rien faire\u00a0\u00bb et ses yeux brillaient bien trop fort.<\/strong>
Before we left her office, she had urged us to talk, to tell what was happening in this otherwise beautiful country. \u00ab\u00a0Here, we can’t do anything\u00a0\u00bb and her eyes were shining way too brightly.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Au moment o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9cris, Serge Duteuil-Graziani est toujours dans le coma, \u00ab\u00a0bless\u00e9 \u00e0 la t\u00eate lors du rassemblement \u201cantibassines\u201d de Sainte-Soline le week-end dernier.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>
As I write, Serge Duteuil-Graziani is still in a coma, \u00ab\u00a0wounded in the head during the Sainte-Soline \u201cantibassines\u201d rally last weekend. \u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Un fait divers comme tant d\u2019autres. Je r\u00e9sume\u00a0: on utilise des armes de guerre contre les manifestants, un homme est bless\u00e9 gravement (coma, pronostic vital engag\u00e9), le commandant des forces de l\u2019ordre a interdit aux secours d\u2019intervenir, alors que c\u2019\u00e9tait possible car le calme \u00e9tait revenu (je simplifie). L\u2019affaire fait du bruit, la Ligue des Droits de l\u2019Homme, pr\u00e9sente sur les lieux, t\u00e9moigne. Je ne vais pas d\u00e9tailler une affaire qui me semble bien m\u00e9diatis\u00e9e.<\/strong>
A news story like so many others. To summarize: they use weapons of war against the demonstrators, a man is seriously injured (coma, vital prognosis involved), the commander of the security forces forbade the emergency services to intervene, when it was possible because the calm had returned (I’m simplifying). The case makes noise, the League of Human Rights, present on the spot, testifies. I’m not going to detail a case that seems to me to be well publicized.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Je ressens depuis des ann\u00e9es comme une mont\u00e9e de la violence polici\u00e8re en parall\u00e8le avec l\u2019instauration de lois liberticides.<\/strong>
Vous me direz que la situation en France est tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rente, on ne peut pas comparer avec la France un pays avec une culture tellement diff\u00e9rente, avec un fort pourcentage d\u2019illettr\u00e9s, situ\u00e9 dans une zone que le gendarme mondial veut \u00e0 tout prix contr\u00f4ler. Un pays avec je crois une criminalit\u00e9 plus forte que chez nous.<\/strong>
Oui, c\u2019est en effet tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent.<\/strong>
I have felt for years like an increase in police violence in parallel with the establishment of draconian laws.<\/span><\/strong>
You will tell me that the situation in France is very different, we cannot compare with France a country with such a different culture, with a high percentage of illiterates, located in an area that the world policeman wants to control at all costs. A country with I believe a higher criminality than at home.<\/span><\/strong>
Yes, it is indeed very different.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mais quand j\u2019entends des ministres mentir effront\u00e9ment, que ce soit au sujet de Serge ou \u00e0 l\u2019occasion d\u2019innombrables autres \u00e9v\u00e9nements, je crois les entendre dire\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Vous savez que nous sommes les coupables, mais vous devez faire comme si nous disions la v\u00e9rit\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
But when I hear ministers lying outright, whether it’s about Serge or countless other events, I think I hear them say, \u00ab\u00a0You know we’re the culprits, but you have to act like we were telling the truth. \u00bb<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Les mensonges ne sont pas anodins. On nous ment. Et \u00e7a me fait peur.<\/strong>
Lies are not trivial. We are being lied to. And that scares me.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
