9 juillet<\/a>. On pourrait l’appeler : Conseils \u00e0 Obrador (et aussi \u00e0 Calderon, pour para\u00eetre objectif ?). On pourrait aussi croire que c’est un avocat qui veut prendre sa revanche par personne (pr\u00e9sident) interpos\u00e9e<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t Klain est un orf\u00e8vre. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 l’un des avocats de l’\u00e9quipe Al Gore en novembre-d\u00e9cembre 2000, lors des interminables semaines de contestation de l’\u00e9lection pr\u00e9sidentielle de GW. Il rappelle ceci \u00e0 propos du comportement de Gore : \u00ab The Gore approach was dignified, responsible, reasonable and unsuccessful.<\/em> \u00bb D’o\u00f9 son conseil \u00e0 Obrador : surtout, ne pas faire comme nous Ce qui repr\u00e9sente un curieux appel implicite \u00e0 la s\u00e9dition (curieux, de la part d’un avocat proche de l’establishment<\/em> US) :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab For Lopez Obrador, the clock is ticking loudly. If he wants to keep his candidacy alive, he must take decisive and quite divisive action. He must bring meaningful and documented claims of fraud in the election. He must call his supporters to the streets and question the legitimacy of the vote casting and counting process. He must demand that, notwithstanding Mexican law, every ballot be recounted, by hand, to ensure an accurate tally. Above all, he must reject any suggestion that Calder\u00f2n received more votes indeed, he must insist that any fair count would show that he is the rightful winner.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t(…)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bb The playbook that Lopez Obrador must follow, if he wants to keep his prospects alive, is the Bush 2000 playbook. Remember the protesters with Sore Loserman signs and the crowds near Observatory Circle shouting, Get out of Cheney’s house? Remember the Brooks Brothers Riot, bringing an end to the recount in Miami-Dade County? Remember former secretary of state James A. Baker III’s condemnation of the Florida courts, and his harsh words for judges who ruled against the Bush campaign? And above all, remember then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s repeated refusal to accept Gore’s offers of reconciliation, and his unflinching (though counter-factual) insistence that the votes had already been counted and recounted and that he was the undisputed winner? If Lopez Obrador has a hope at this point, the Bush 2000 strategy is probably his only option.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tPar contre, Klain recommande \u00e0 Calderon de suivre la voie trac\u00e9e par Gore, s’il veut l’emporter d’une fa\u00e7on constructive. Sinon, Calderon conna\u00eetra le m\u00eame chaos int\u00e9rieur que GW Bush conna\u00eet, et sans doute pire, ajouterions-nous, vu le caract\u00e8re vigoureux et explosif de la vie politique mexicaine. (\u00ab Calder\u00f2n can likewise use his power and influence to stifle recounts but he would do better to take a very different stance than Bush did in 2000. He would do better to take the Gore approach, and balance the risk of defeat after a full recount against the added legitimacy of his power if he prevails in such a transparent and fulsome process.<\/em> \u00bb)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tCurieux conseils, vraiment … On comprend bien qu’Obrador les suivra pour son compte, s’il le peut, mais que Calderon, pour le sien, ne les suivra pas. (Il n’est pas dans les habitudes de l’establishment<\/em> mexicain de se montrer digne, responsable et raisonnable face \u00e0 un homme comme Obrador.) Cela laisserait une perspective mexicaine de toutes les fa\u00e7ons agit\u00e9e, quel que soit le r\u00e9sultat final de l’\u00e9lection, contestation d’Obrador d\u00e9bouchant sur une d\u00e9cision finale qui sera de toutes les fa\u00e7ons contest\u00e9e, et une pr\u00e9sidence Calderon, si c’est lui qui l’emporte, de toutes les fa\u00e7ons agit\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
