			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/giant_joint_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-118" title="giant_joint_2" src="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/giant_joint_2.jpg?w=500&#038;h=374" alt="" width="500" height="374" /></a></p>
<p>«Cigarettes, pastis, aspirine, café, gros rouge, calmants font partie de notre vie quotidienne. En revanche, un simple « joint » de cannabis (sous ses différentes formes: marijuana, haschich, kif, huile) peut vous conduire en prison ou chez un psychiatre.<br />
Des dizaines de documents officiels (notamment les rapports La Guardia aux Etats-Unis, Wootton en Grande-Bretagne, le Dain au Canada) ont démontré que le cannabis n’engendre aucune dépendance physique, contrairement aux drogues dites « dures », telles que l’héroïne, mais aussi au tabac ou à l’alcool, et n’a aucun effet nocif comparable (« Pas même une bronchite, sauf chez les grands fumeurs », a écrit aux Etats-Unis le directeur de l’Institut national contre l’abus des drogues). Le contenu de ces documents n’a jamais été porté à la connaissance du public français, on a préféré laisser la grande presse mener des campagnes d’intoxication fondées sur des mensonges ineptes.<br />
Dans de nombreux pays déjà : Etats-Unis (Californie, Oregon, Alaska), Pays-Bas, Canada… la législation sur le cannabis a été considérablement adoucie. En France, on continue d’entretenir la confusion entre drogues dures et drogues douces, gros trafiquants, petits intermédiaires et simples usagers. Cela permet de maintenir et de renforcer une répression de plus en plus lourde: depuis 1969, la police peut perquisitionner chez n’importe qui, sans mandat, à toute heure du jour ou de la nuit, sous prétexte de drogue. Cela permet des arrestations massives de jeunes et des quadrillages policiers. Cela sert à justifier la détention de centaines de personnes, petits revendeurs ou fumeurs de cannabis, quand tout le monde sait que des gros bonnets de l’héroïne sont en liberté. Ces emprisonnements, bien sûr, sont sélectifs et frappent en priorité la jeunesse, surtout la jeunesse ouvrière et les immigrés, particulièrement dans les régions.<br />
Or, des milliers et des milliers de personnes fument du cannabis aujourd’hui en France, dans les journaux, les lycées, les facultés, les bureaux, les usines, les ministères, les casernes, les concerts, les congrès politiques, chez elles, dans la rue. <strong>Tout le monde le sait</strong>. C’est pour lever ce silence hypocrite que nous déclarons publiquement avoir déjà fumé du cannabis en diverses occasions et avoir, éventuellement, l’intention de récidiver. Nous considérons comme inadmissible toute forme de répression individuelle, soumise à l’arbitraire policier, et entendons soutenir activement tous ceux qui en seraient victimes. Nous demandons que soient prises les mesures suivantes:<br />
- Dépénalisation totale du cannabis, de son usage, sa possession, sa culture (autoproduction) ou son introduction sur le territoire français en quantités de consommation courante.</p>
<p>- Ouverture de centres d’information sur les substances psychotropes, en ordre alphabétique: alcool, cannabis, cocaïne, héroïne, LSD, médicaments, tabac, etc.</p>
<p>Nous n’avons que faire de la légalisation de la marijuana, ni de sa commercialisation. Si des trusts à joints s’en emparent, c’est une question de société. Ce texte n’est pas un appel à la consommation. Il vise seulement à<br />
mettre fin à une situation absurde.»</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">Texte publié dans <em>Libération</em>, le <strong>18 juin 1976</strong></p>

<p>A cactus. One of the many life forms on Earth that can indeed survive in a super hot desert. Well there are not many of them if you think of it. Just a few fennecs passing by here and there. Some unheard of parasites infecting underground springs. Rocks are also part of this decorum, but one cannot consider them alive although, once, a really nuts guy told me that they stood here as the sort of remnant of an ancient age when Dinosaurs played along with aliens, in a rocky arena—just like our Madison Square Garden. At the moment, I was all: “What the hell man, I&#8217;ve not even seen you eat that acid”. I must admit he was right. Rocks of all kinds were around me. Small ones, reminding me of something of a brownish and somehow arranged Stonehenge. Somebody had built all this, I am sure. The fact that they are ranged from the taller to the smallest grain of dust disturbs me so much! Looks like a frigging stairway. Stairway leading right to the sun. Yeah the sun is so hot today. I could literally spin-dry my shirt and get about a pound of sweat.</p>
<p>So this cactus. They say it contains about half their volume in water. I have never bought all this bullshit. If that was true, lots of people would be living in the desert, right? They would farm cactus and chop &#8216;em and  squeeze &#8216;em and they would survive. And there is absolutely nobody out there. Right to the beginning. I&#8217;m lost in this fucking desert and I have nobody to speak with, nobody to drink with, nobody even to die with. I&#8217;ve wandered off the beaten trail, and what do I got? Shit! Mama, she told me it wasn&#8217;t a good idea. But I was all like: “Yeah, Ma&#8217;, I can&#8217;t stand it any longer here. I go, and don&#8217;t follow me.” She dumped me. Told me she was fucking another bloke. Ah—I so hate &#8216;em chicks. They can&#8217;t stay by their man, they have to go see if men are better and more manly outside. She couldn&#8217;t even keep it in. Women are weak. I will find another one.</p>
<p>I am too far now to go home before the night. I can find some miserable place! A gas station or something. I imagine they are quite accustomed to us, the wanderers, the hateful desert stalkers. My eyes see no other than a gray burning soil, with sort of air whirls that confuse my eyes. It makes me think the earth is a mirror. The lead blue sky collapses with the irreparably scattered stones. I saw a Yankee on the moon long ago. The landscape looked just like that, except for the sky: it was darkish—white spots everywhere. Now the sky is blue, with spots too. But these spots appear and vanish just as they appeared, that is quickly. You cannot fix them; as soon as you lock your eye on &#8216;em they disappear. Must be this damn sun reverberation onto my retinas. Burn baby burn.</p>
<p>Long time no see a cactus! I have to split it in two. I&#8217;m so thirsty right now, I could have 20 shots of bourbon and not be tight. Just refreshed. Oh yeah, and now I drool over a cactus&#8230; My machete is blunt but inertia should do. What the hell! It&#8217;s splashed me up! How&#8217;s that even possible? I&#8217;ve dreamed of water and here it is. What a comforting sight indeed. Hopefully, it seems there&#8217;s a part of the cactus that acted like a cup, and retained some water. Oh! I&#8217;m drinking. My stomach reverse-burns, as if I took a shot of bourbon or tequila. But the feeling is tremendously pleasant. My mouth ain&#8217;t not dry any more. I can feel saliva coming in my mouth—again. This water had some particular taste, I think. It smelled like fresh chewing gum, and tasted as minty eucalyptus, perhaps the refreshing savor brought by the plant&#8217;s living callus.</p>
<p>Long after this, and I&#8217;m still awaken. The sun had gone a long time before. When I walk, I hit small stones, and it hurts more and more. My boots are much less a protection than they used to be. These boots they are made for a-walking, Nancy Sinatra said. One more wrong woman, after all. Blood stains my socks. That is the only way I could know that my feet are so chopped. The orange lighter glowing on the scarlet spot made out some uncomfortable color. It looked as if my feet had choked and vomited in the inside of the shoe. Well can&#8217;t feel anyt&#8217;in&#8217; else. It is as if my whole body wasn&#8217;t mine, after all. My hand grasping the other, and I sense nothing. I&#8217;m made of plastic. I imagine the noise my arms could make when projected against each other. Clock. Hollow sound, only reverberated by the iron skeleton. Am I a puppet, walking and walking against my own volition?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to swap a littl&#8217; the earth. I can&#8217;t sleep with a stone twisting my back, no. I imagine they are all kind of mysterious animal here, and most dangerous. The rattlesnake, I heard of it once. You hear a little noise, very not alarming, and so you say to yourself: “Oh no, don&#8217;t fear, it is just the wind!” And just then, you&#8217;re a dead man. I mean not right after. You feel the venom coming up your leg, melting, mingling with your blood; forming but one sole fluid. Not the life fluid anymore, but death potion patiently bringing the poison right to your heart. I&#8217;ve heard only one man has ever survived a rattlesnake&#8217;s bite. He was from an anti-venom fabric. He made rattlesnakes spit their venom each hour, and then, one sad day, he got bitten. He was all swollen, and couldn&#8217;t move no more. But he gathered his mind, and strength, and made it to the refrigerator, where all the anti-venom syringes were stocked. He used each one of them, and he barely made it. I should be very careful tonight. I don&#8217;t even know if I will sleep. Too bad. That&#8217;s my punishment for being an asshole.</p>
<p>I can see a snake, but holy shit, it has three heads! It&#8217;s coming, crawling to me. I can&#8217;t do nothing. I&#8217;m petrified. I—I—Crap. The heads go up in the air, ready to bite; god, three bites at a time, that must be painful—and deadly. But the greenish head start to melt into one. What? What&#8217;s happening to me. I feel like I&#8217;m drifting away. I lost balance. I&#8217;m lying on the desert&#8217;s soil, but still, the soil is dissolving into water, letting me go. Water closes back right before my eyes. I&#8217;m slowly descending the immensity of a boiling, burning, lake. There no more three-headed snakes. There&#8217;s plenty of them. There&#8217;s none. There are red snakes, blue snakes, yellow, orange, oh! Hell! They vanished again. I&#8217;m so unsure of what I can see.</p>
<p>It is as if my own retinas were muting, their texture changing, and my brain all misinterpreting. Blue-red anguish, yellow-green appeasement, purple excitement. Still a clear yellow figure seems to persevere in this tough nightmare. Round shaped, unmistakably ascending the sky. My face started to heat up. Suddenly a shock came to my limbs, some sort of reflex. I felt so light, under the only volition of the wind to bring me where it whistles. I turn back, I see myself, lying appeased on the desert soil. The earth changing colors like a fair attraction rolling rolling and rolling again.</p>
<p><a href="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/peyote-dream-steven-palmer.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-108" title="Peyote Dream" src="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/peyote-dream-steven-palmer.jpg?w=500&#038;h=375" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I wake up, again. This time no more joy, no more sadness, no more emotions, in fact. I ain’t broken, but I ain’t healthy either. The pinky, neat salmon sky has replaced the gross diversity of colors I saw last night. The wind has brought me back to my body, I think. This feeling of a cool, mastered body pleases me well. Mades me think about what happened yesterday. It was a kick-ass decision to go. I shouldn’t have. My mother will be so worried. My woman&#8211;I don’t know. Actually, I don’t want to hear of that cunt any more. She destroyed me. But I’m not gay. Being gay is a gay thing. It’s like you’re less than a woman. You’re weak, you’re twisted&#8230; She broke something in me the bitch.</p>
<p>I will find another one. They move so easily, you understand what they think at once. One night stand? You read it in their glance they throw you. I used to be good at this nasty game. Now I don’t know. Nancy, she was somebody, y’know. I will shoot this man she slept with. He has no honor, I tell you. But, I’m not the asshole. Nobody’s coming to help me. I’m all alone on this dry land.</p>
<p>The sun is climbing up the sky. The pinkish shade that glowed before on the desert soil begins to fade away. I can see that I moved during my delirium, I don’t recognize the exact place I stopped to. The stones are sharper here maybe, and placed differently. Why was I lunatic last night? Why did I see such vivid colors? At a time, I heard a story, from a guy I saw at school or in the street or I don’t know where. It said that some cactus were no cactus actually, but much more of some sort of Acid. Acid is made for Hippies, not me. Them hippies high on marijuana, everybody expect them to see things. Not me, it can’t happen to me. I’m so not a hippie.</p>
<p>But this experiment has broke something in me, yep. I don’t know anything any more. Do I dream right now? Am I awake, I don’t know. The world is a stranger, reality is unreal. Oh! Finally I can see some sort of gas station! I don’t understand: there ain’t a road here, in my memories anyway. Perhaps is it a little trail. Well better take a look, I’m still so thirsthy. The more I walk down the station, the more my legs are trembling. The more I walk, the more I feel myself drifting away. I’m so very tired, it ain’t me any more. This stupid trip has destroyed me.</p>
<p>I poke the door, it creaks. What kind of a gas station is that? Through the smoke sucked outside of the room I flow. Behind the counter is a mid-fifties scarcely bearded man. He seems completely out in the blue. That may have been caused by the innumerable empty bottles around him. Is he the tenant? “Wha&#8217;re ya dooin&#8217; &#8216;ere?” I answer “Thirsty for sure man!”, not quite reassured of this uncanny appearing. He draws a glass back, a bottle of Jack, and poured it in the tiny container.</p>
<p>“Get it straight” he says.</p>
<p>“Oh man, I&#8217;m thirsty for water, I have an immense headache&#8230;”</p>
<p>“Why wan&#8217;t ya drink wha&#8217; a old man gives?” His voice was as creaking as the door.</p>
<p>“I&#8217;m already high, I think”</p>
<p>“Oh ya&#8217;re one of these.”</p>
<p>“What?”</p>
<p>“One of these Junkie, as they say.”</p>
<p>“How can you?” I dropped, unnerved.</p>
<p>“You oughta not to talk ta me like thus, young man.”</p>
<p>I took the glass and smashed it on the table. The alcohol was spilled everywhere. The glass was just a ruin, scattered in the fields of history. I head for the door. I smash it as well.</p>
<p>What a jerk is that old degenerate! I walk with a steady pace away of that dark ranch. Oh man! He&#8217;s gone out with a rifle! He shoots at me! He missed already two shots. I run the fastest I could. GODDAMN! In the leg. I fall miserably on the soil. The blood reddens the brown earth. I might know what women feel when they give birth. But here it&#8217;s ten time worse! I can&#8217;t walk anymore. The man is running after me. I try to crawl, but this is a failure. It aches too much. I bend to see how bad is my foot. Fuck! It&#8217;s completely dismembered. The bastard! He is just there aiming at me: “You are one ugly piece of junk!”</p>
<p>I pulled the trigga&#8217;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Such a mixture of feelings I never felt before! Yesterday night, I was supposed to work on some translation exercise, but it didn&#8217;t exalted me so I went to watch a series episode, one of those that make you calm and relaxed before going to bed. It recounts the adventures of some bloke that got trapped in the year 3000, and of his Cyclopean female friend, of his robot-cynic friend, and of his now progeny, a 154-year or so mad scientist. The absurd amuses me; I&#8217;m a big fan of Matt Groening. Well that night the episode was fairly bleak, and disappointed, I headed to bed. I had planned to read a little bit of a book about Margaret Thatcher, but I didn&#8217;t feel like taking in politics, so I searched my schoolbooks and found – I didn&#8217;t know it yet – a treasure! “Paradise Lost” it is entitled. I am moderately fond of poetry, I occasionally read a few lines during my free time. But I decided to go through the introduction, always a tough part; it was our teacher that insisted upon the importance of going through these. She was right! I may have spent two and a half hours on it, but that was worth it. I indeed got absorbed, rereading every couple of lines that I didn&#8217;t immediately understand. The editor was very enlightening, educative, and his selection of criticism totally unbiased. I felt such a thrill perusing upon the different themes addressed! I am a committed atheist, and yet I didn&#8217;t imagine at first all the theoretical knowledge accumulated on the subject of say “Milton&#8217;s vision of the innocence”.  How much this man must have known to write such a powerful book! &#8230;And I haven&#8217;t read it yet. You can understand that I&#8217;m eager to start. All this brought me to 3 :30 AM. I didn&#8217;t see the time pass. That also is fulfilling.  I was to get up early this morning to attend the American civilisation course. One can say it was about to be a failure, for me. This “vigil” nearly killed me. I didn&#8217;t know my whereabouts when I was sitting on my bed. It took me five good minutes to realise. The worst is not yet arrived: I even forgot to take my daily coffee. This was devastating for me. I was a quasi zombie for the two-hour course. Imagine when you&#8217;re exhausted on the train, when sleep attacks only for a few seconds and just then, you realise that you&#8217;ve been sleeping because you find yourself having the head bent over your knees. Well it was twice worse for me this morning&#8230; I did prepare my money to get me an unfresh coffee at the machine at the end of the course. This was quite a twinge of sadness too. I LOVE freshly percolated coffee, the one you feel passing in your guts, and in your brain just ten minutes after. This almost musky scent obsesses me. Just imagining the different flavours of Arabica, Italian taste, “café bien noir” … Yes I live with psycho-active drugs all around me, and I like it!</p>

<p lang="en-GB">I don&#8217;t know what others feel, but when I wake up, I feel dizzy. Nothing abnormal here. Then, two worlds seem offered to me: a world where humour, lightness and joy overflow my eyes (to say it clear: pink elephants) ; or a grey and gloomy world whose dullness keeps me from even leaving my bed. I reckon that the first state is better apprehended after remembering your dreams, or waking up just at the moment your dream was becoming quite interesting. There comes a exquisitely pleasant feeling of fulfilment, or on the contrary of non-fulfilment that makes you either eager to start a new day and be creative or to recover the essence of the dream by finishing what had been set up and stopped by the waking. On these days, I am incredibly hard at work, helpful, smiling …</p>
<p lang="en-GB">On the other side, when my awakening is tinged with anguish I will most of the time be bad humoured, and so find the classes uninteresting, the professors boring and sectarian, I will want to come back home and have a good time on the Internet chatting with my friends, in order to be the support they didn&#8217;t have –as for me– on this day. I can also behave like the rest of the day and be nasty to my friends so as they don&#8217;t come and irritate me more than I already am.</p>
<p lang="en-GB">So today I woke up early, and as astonishingly as it may sound, this lead me to be quite content.</p>

<p><em><strong>23/09/10</strong></em></p>
<p lang="en-GB">I can&#8217;t understand why people are so stupid. Or maybe so vain! They attend a class, for which they&#8217;ve had a two years&#8217; preparation before, and they still sit and state to the teacher: “I don&#8217;t understand.” Well, what the teacher said was just a refreshment of what had been taught the years before so nothing should be a surprise here. This might be a trick to entertain the other students, but if so, it clearly doesn&#8217;t entertain me. I find it plain gross: we&#8217;re supposed to be in third year now. But this hasn&#8217;t been the sole irritating thing I&#8217;ve faced today. Yeah, the trams were also causing trouble. Even though I clearly sympathise with the strikers and regret not having joined them, the disorganisation in the tram company was a shame today. What was expected was a reduction of trams traffic, but not a gap of a half hour between two trams, and not three trams in a row in about 4 minutes! But it did happen … So I&#8217;ve had to walk and walk again to come back home. Was it enough? No of course. I had to see a child crossing the road without even giving a damn about the cars that were on the road, full speed. I cannot stand the carelessness of certain people and their children … ever.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_86" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 416px"><a href="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/86r7luim.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-86" title="Crise Financière" src="http://macdonalds.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/86r7luim.jpg?w=500" alt=""   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">La dette grecque</p></div>
<p>L’agence de notation Standard &amp; Poor’s a dégradé, mardi 27 avril, la dette souveraine grecque au rang d’obligation douteuse, et abaissé celle du Portugal. Le lendemain, l’Espagne entrait dans le collimateur – à qui le tour ?</p>
<p>Dans les trois cas, l’agence dit fonder son appréciation sur les perspectives macroéconomique des pays concernés : une croissance faible ne leur permettrait pas d’acquitter leurs engagements. Mais quels facteurs assombrissent ainsi leur horizon économique ? On peut facilement identifier l’un d’entre eux : les coupes budgétaires mises en œuvre sous la pression… des investisseurs et des agences de notation.</p>
<p>La boucle est ainsi bouclée. Avec le recul, les pièces éparses des krachs économiques à répétition survenus ces trois dernières années composent peu à peu le thème d’un puzzle bien connu. Son cadre : la vague de déréglementation financière des années 1980. Son nom : à crise de marché, remèdes de marché.</p>
<p>Première étape : en 2007 les ménages américains, dont les revenus stagnent, notamment sous l’effet de la concurrence internationale, se trouvent dans l’incapacité de rembourser des prêts immobiliers attribués sans souci de garantie par les banques saisies d’ivresse. Depuis l’éclatement de la « bulle Internet » en 2000, la Réserve fédérale américaine maintient en effet des taux d’intérêts très bas, favorisant l’aventurisme des investisseurs.</p>
<p>Deuxième étape : en septembre 2008, la crise des subprime dégénère en crise bancaire, les bilans des établissements financiers se révélant farcis de crédits immobiliers insolvables ventilés aux quatre coins de la planète dans des produits financiers sophistiqués. Lehman Brothers chute ; la panique gagne ; les banques cessent d’accorder du crédit : l’économie est au bord de l’asphyxie.</p>
<p>Troisième étape : plutôt que de placer l’intégralité d’un secteur financier failli sous contrôle public, les gouvernements acceptent de le renflouer en l’état. Les Etats s’endettent hors de proportion pour sauver les banques et relancer l’économie. Mais, après vingt ans de baisse continue de la fiscalité, les recettes ne suivent pas. Entre la fin de l’année 2008 et le milieu de l’année 2009, la crise de la finance privée se convertit en gonflement de la dette publique et en crise sociale. Dans les pays occidentaux, le chômage grimpe en flèche.</p>
<p>Quatrième étape. Requinqués par l’afflux d’argent public et la remontée des Bourses, stimulés par des taux d’intérêts quasi-nuls, banques et fonds d’investissements reprennent leurs affaires ordinaires. Pendant la tourmente boursière, beaucoup ont reporté leurs avoirs du marché actions (perçu comme incertain) vers celui des dettes publiques (réputé sûr). Mais celles-ci enflent dangereusement et ne servent qu’un faible taux d’intérêt. Le faire monter : telle est la conséquence de « l’attaque » spéculative sur la dette souveraine des pays « périphériques » de l’Europe entamée après la révélation du maquillage des déficits grecs – carambouille effectuée avec l’aide de la banque d’affaires Goldman Sachs.</p>
<p>Cinquième étape. Dès lors que les puissances publiques se refusent à stopper la spéculation par la loi et par une aide immédiate à la Grèce, un cercle vicieux s’enclenche : il faut emprunter pour payer la dette ; réduire ses déficits pour emprunter ; tailler dans les dépenses publiques pour réduire les déficits ; abaisser les salaires, les prestations sociales et « réformer » les retraites pour réduire les dépenses publiques. Autant de mesures qui appauvrissent les ménages, obscurcissent les perspectives économiques et incitent les agences de notation à dégrader les titres de la dette souveraine…</p>
<p>D’abord présentée aux Etats, la facture adressée par les banques pour le prix de leur propre impéritie échoit alors à son destinataire final : les salariés.</p>
<p>Sixième étape. L’effondrement des dominos européens. Nous y sommes. Miroir de la désunion européenne, le plan d’aide à la Grèce entériné le 11 avril tente tardivement de concilier tous les antagonismes : l’intervention du Fonds monétaire international (FMI) avec le sauvetage des apparences communautaires ; la mise sous tutelle d’Athènes et le principe de souveraineté nationale ; l’intérêt bien compris des banques françaises et allemandes, lourdement exposées à la dette grecque, et le Traité de fonctionnement de l’Union européenne, qui interdit la solidarité financière avec un Etat membre (articles 123 et 125) ; le montant des prêts initialement prévus (45 milliards d’euros, dont 15 par le FMI) et les sommes désormais jugées nécessaires pour endiguer l’activité spéculative (deux, voire trois fois supérieures) ; le modèle économique rhénan qui comprime les salaires pour dilater les exportations, et les balances commerciales négatives de ses voisins ; l’agenda politique de la chancelière allemande Angela Merkel, confrontée à un important scrutin régional le 9 mai, et celui des dirigeants des pays les plus endettés qui voient l’orage spéculatif aborder leurs rivages.</p>
<p>En vertu de cet arrangement, la Grèce pourra emprunter à des taux moins élevés que ceux du marché (mais infiniment plus que ceux, pratiquement nuls, associés aux sommes débloquées sans limite par la Banque centrale européenne en faveur d’établissements privés en 2008 et 2009). Elle devra en contrepartie réduire de 5, voire de 6 points, un déficit budgétaire estimé à 14 % du produit intérieur brut. Une saignée violente, opérée prioritairement dans les budgets sociaux, mais déjà insuffisante aux yeux Berlin. Moins de dix jours après son annonce, les cortèges hostiles se succédaient dans les rues d’Athènes, le spectre du défaut de paiement planait sur l’Acropole, la crise de la dette souveraine gagnait la péninsule ibérique et les rumeurs d’éclatement de la zone euro se propageaient.</p>
<p>Faite d’improvisation, de crainte et de résignation face aux impositions de la finance, la réaction des Etats, des institutions européennes et du FMI se caractérise par l’absence de stratégie d’ensemble : on se contente de répercuter la contrainte des marchés tout en jurant d’y résister. Elle incite les pays membres à se démarquer mutuellement dans l’espoir d’échapper aux paris des investisseurs. Une fois les « partenaires » placés en situation de concurrence, c’est à qui exhibera le plan d’austérité le plus drastique. A Lisbonne comme à Athènes, à Dublin comme à Madrid, résonne un mot d’ordre unique : « rassurer les marchés » – un an auparavant, les dirigeants du G20 promettaient de les dompter. Au fond, la dynamique réfracte involontairement la logique réelle de l’Union européenne, promise à tous comme un espace de solidarité et finalement livrée au dumping social, salarial, fiscal et maintenant spéculatif… D’autres solutions s’offraient pourtant au choix des gouvernants.</p>
<p>Comme la mer qui se retire, la crise découvre la fragilité d’une construction qui, depuis son origine, repose sur un pari : l’union douanière et monétaire entraînera l’union politique et populaire. C’est peu dire qu’il est perdu.</p>
