Le président coréen embarassé par le suicide de son prédécesseur

Un parquet aux ordres qui a poursuivi Roh Moo-hyun avec beaucoup d'agressivité. Une presse acquise au pouvoir qui en a fait des tonnes. Le drame révèle les méthodes brutales de l'administration Lee Myung Bak.

Les coréens prient pour l'ancien président

C'est l'histoire d'une vieille haine. En 1997, Lee Myung Bak et Roh Moo-hyun se sont affrontés pour le siège de député de la circonscription de Jongno, dans le centre de Séoul. Lee Myung-Bak l'emporte au terme d'une campagne très difficile. Mais son élection est invalidée sur plainte de son adversaire, pour dépenses électorales excessives... Résultat, c'est Roh Moo-hyun qui obtient le siège de la circonscription la plus convoitée du pays. La haine entre les deux hommes est scellée.

Alors, lorsque Lee Myung Bak entre à la maison bleue, le siège de la présidence coréenne, pour remplacer Roh Moo-hyun, début 2008, le nouveau président a soif de vengeance.

Vengeance judiciaire, en lançant les procureurs aux trousses de Roh, dans une affaire de corruption présumée. La femme de l'ancien président aurait touché 1 millions de dollars d'un homme d'affaire. "Un prêt" affirme Roh. "Corruption" pensent les procureurs, qui lancent des mandats d'amener contre l'ancien président et tous ses proches. Son épouse devait être interrogée quelques heures après son suicide.

Ce qui est frappant dans le traitement de cette affaire judiciaire, c'est l'absence totale de secret de l'instruction, l'ensemble des éléments fournis par le parquet se retrouvant dans les médias. et c'est l'attitude de ces médias, justement, reprenant sans nuance l'ensemble des informations fournies par les procureurs, faisant même des shows en direct des auditions des témoins, bref condamnant sans appel l'ancien président avant même qu'il puisse être entendu.

Roh Moo-hyun l'avait bien compris, lorsqu'il explique dans sa note son suicide. Il sait que ses proches vont tous être atteints, les uns après les autres, et que même si il a toujours nié la corruption, ses dénégations ne peuvent atténuer la honte qui s'étend sur sa famille.

Ces critiques sur la responsabilité du pouvoir dans la mort de l'ancien président, on ne les lit pas dans la presse coréenne. On ne les entend pas à la télévision.
Les médias sud-coréens sont ainsi tous contrôlés par les Chaebols, favorables à Lee Myung-Bak, lui même un ex de Hyundai. Il est frappant que depuis le suicide, toutes les télévisions se contente de diffuser les conférences de presse officielles de la police, des médecins, de la maison bleues. On n'entend jamais les Coréens qui par dizaines de milliers viennent lui rendre hommage dans son village, à 500 kilomètres de Séoul. A l'exception de MBC, seul média "rebelle" qui a explicitement évoqué la "revanche politique" à l'origine du drame.

Sur internet le ton est bien différent. On montre comment des milliers de policiers ont bloqué le centre de Séoul, à Jongno, pour empêcher les manifestations à la mémoire de Roh Myun-hyun, qui auraient pu se transformer en protestation contre le pouvoir.

On montre aussi comment le président du Parlement coréen, fidèle de Lee, a été empêché de voir le corps de Roh par la foule en colère.

Quelques heures après la mort de l'ancien président, le procureur de Séoul a annoncé la fin de toute investigation sur la corruption présumée de sa famille.

non je parle de l'oeil de Lee Myung Bak :o) cf l'affaire Minerva. En gros, tu peux te faire arreter si tu racontes n'importe quoi sur internet....surtout si tes idees sont anti gouvernementales...

dan a écrit le 26/5/2009 à 19h18 :

Et si je dis ' lee myung bak... je te voie ', Est ce que c'est anti gouvernemental (plutôt anti adminsitration Lee MB)?

Bon et bien on n'est déjà pas gâté avec Kim Yung Il en RPDC, et maintenant Lee Myung Bak en RPC qui prend comme modèle un certain M. Omniprésent.

Vivement la relève.

mais bon, si ca continue comme ca, c'est Kim Jung Il qui sera le futur president au Sud :o)

dan a écrit le 28/5/2009 à 17h11 :

Même les médias japonais accusent le sud coréen Lee Myung bak d'être en partie responsable de cette escalade. Le pire serait de voire le fils de Kim Yung Il prendre le trône de son père (celui qui a été inderdit de séjour au Japon). Et nous voilà reparti pour quelques décennies de dictature.

As a S.Korean reader, I am deeply impressed by your insightful truth-based article. after a sudden death of ex-president Roh, S. Korea is going through a political chaos. but thanks to the internet and some independent media, people in Korea well aware what's really going on and who's to be blamed. I personally believe ex-president Roh's work will be re-highlighted soon along with president Lee's impeachment. merci.

나는 한국인 입니다. 현재 우리의 대통령이란 이명박은 전경들을 투입해 애도하고있는 시민들을 강제 해산시켰고, 그 와중에 몇몇시민들이 부상을 당하는 불상사가 발생되기도 했습니다. 시민들이 자발적으로 만든 분향소는 전경들의 발에의해 다 짓밟히고, 그는 15대 전 대통령이었던 김대중의 추도사를 읽지 못하게 했고, 대한민국의 언론을 장악해 tv,라이오 등에선 거의 제대로된 정보를 알기힘들 뿐만 아니라 왜곡된 진실을 세뇌시키려 합니다. 한국의 민주주의를 지켜주세요. 부탁드립니다.

Thanks very much for this news. It will help French know what's going on here in Korea. It is A real demoratic crisis. The incumbent president, Myung-bak,Lee is now trying to control all the media and suppress the freedom of expression. Korean Constitution guarantees the freedom of expression just like other contries' Constitutions do. However, the government is now ignoring the article thoroughly. The police in Korea are now working not for the citizens, but for the powerful president. I'm very ashmaed of this situation. Thanks again for this truth-based news.

I am a Korean who lives in the states. We all miss Roh Moo-Hyun, Former S.Korea president.He was only one president who made Korea people peaceful.It was real democratic government when Roh Moo-Hyun was sworn in as President. May he rest in peace. Thank you very much for posting the truth of Korea.Since current Korean media has been controlling by Korean Goverment, most of Korean people can't konw about the truth. Poor Korean...We have to get our right and we can deserve to know the truth. Currnet president Lee Myung Bak doesn't want to leason anything to the people. He is using people for his personal greed. Lee is a person with 14 previous convictions. Does it make sense? Lee, he is afraid that he will be impeached for stupid policy. He didn't keep any single his pledge. He has been breaching his all pledges. Korea people don't trust him at all. He is a liar. He is playing games with the people since he was elected to the S.Korea president. Therefore, Korea people keep complaing about Lee and current goverment. Ah! We miss the previous goverment. That's why Korea goverment made a bribe issue for the former president Roh Moo Hyun. As Korea Federal prosecutors annouced, it is not verified 1 days later Roh Moo Hyun suicided. 'THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEEACH IN KOREA.' The people who speak the truth, Korea goverment aressts them. Is it 2009? Korea goverment is going back to 1980 when the most terrible president Chun's time. KOREAN GOVERMENT, STOP INFRINGING ON FREEDON OF SPEECH.GO Lee Myung bak! Please help us for letting everybody konw the truth. Thanks again.

I'm a Korean. We Koreans are very sad for the death of our president 'Roh' now. And at the same time we are very outraged for the dirdy action leemyungbak and goverment. Any the main medias are hiding and distorting the 'truth'. We will surely judge them before long!!

Seoul a écrit le 30/5/2009 à 23h51 :

Merci. It's sad how Koreans read the articles from the press overseas to find out the truth. The current government tries hard to hide the truth so they can control the media, but they won't be able to control the people. We won't sit back and watch you destroy the freedom our father generation traded with their blood. Thank you for your article, and please keep your eye on Korean politics so we would know what really is going on.

Koreans are overall dishonest and corrupt. They always try to blame their faults on somebody else. I personally experienced it while staying in Korea for several years. That's why death of the disgraced former president, Roh Mu Hyun, is mourned by most Koreans; their moral standards are relatively low. In any other country, the funeral of a former corrupt official would go mostly unnoticed, especially so if it is suicide. I am not suprised that the suppoters of the former corrupt president blames his commiting suicide on the opposite party leader, the current presient. That's a business as usual in Korea.

Marie Decroix je suis fan ! Mais vous ne semblez pas accorder de crédit a Mr LEE. Ça veut dire que vous prenez parti ou vous avez des preuves pour affirmer ce que vous dites ? Même si globalement je suis quand même plutôt d'accord avec vous. 실망씨 if you read the article. it is clearly written that the corrupt affair was made up by president LEE. If that is true. it would means that Mr Roh is a dead not corrupt president. if it is suicide, it can only be someone else's fault. What else ? will you commit suicide for ur pleasure. I don't think.

'..., crazy Lee's government is controlling our media. ' Exactly, KBS news is an example. Stop à l'escalade militaire ! La Corée du Sud et la Corée du nord ne sont qu'un seul peuple. La politique de 'rayon de soleil' Kim Dae-jung et Roh Moo-Hyun envers la Corée du Nord est le seule solution possible à cette crise. Il serait temps aussi que la Chine cesse de s'ingérer dans les affaires intercoréennes. Qu'elle cesse son soutient à la RPDC.

Apparemment y a beaucoup de ressources naturelles en Coree du Nord...la Chine veut rester un partenaire privilegie pour pouvoir les exploiter...et tant qu'a faire autant soutenir la Coree du Nord si ca peut faire chier les USA... Ce n'est donc pas de si tot que la Chine fera quelque chose contre le Nord....a moins que la Chine ne decide de s'approprier la Coree du Nord (puis du Sud) sous pretexte qu'il y a fort longtemps, le peuple coreen faisait partie du peuple chinois ?

Same things are being replayed in Korea. People are controled by the press ruled by certain group and they regret after all things proved to lies. And contribute all the thing to few people. But, accepting that these few man triggered these sitiation, it's clear that the indifference sights and unfair treats of general citizens are the directive reason of ex-president's passing away. We should have considered it more prudently, and excluded sensitive attitude.secend and third victims will be gererated right after this tregedy if we don't protect ourselves from unjust provoking
