Joyeux anniversaire, cher Helmut !

L’ancien chancelier fête aujourd’hui ses 90 ans.
C’est l’occasion pour moi de formuler le vœu que les futurs leaders allemands et européens s’inspirent de l’action et des qualités qui ont fait de cet homme un des meilleurs chanceliers que l’Allemagne ait connu, un Européen convaincu et surtout un grand ami !

Oui, mais n'oublions pas l'autre face d'Helmut Kohl.
Nous devons aussi regarder l'autre face d'Helmut Kohl.
Allemagne : le crépuscule du « Vieux ».
C'est un monument de l'histoire allemande qui se délite un peu plus chaque jour au rythme accéléré des révélations. Le visage renfrogné, le dos voûté, Helmut Kohl est méconnaissable. Qu'est devenue la silhouette gargantuesque de l'homme d'Etat sûr de lui qui, il y a quelques semaines encore, paradait lors des cérémonies du dixième anniversaire de la chute du Mur ?
Rattrapé par son passé, l'ancien chancelier semble refuser de voir la réalité. Certes, il vient de reconnaître, dans une interview télévisée, que son parti, la CDU, avait reçu, de 1993 à 1998, des dons pour 1,5 à 2 millions de marks, sur des comptes parallèles dont il disposait à sa guise. Ces aveux ne révéleraient que la pointe de l'iceberg. Les soupçons portent sur des sommes beaucoup plus élevées.
Helmut Kohl aurait déjà eu recours à ces pratiques financières douteuses alors qu'il était ministre-président de Rhénanie-Palatinat au début des années 70.
L'ex-chancelier refuse surtout - une question de parole donnée, jure-t-il - de révéler l'identité des donateurs. Un silence qui risque de lui coûter cher.
« La parole d'honneur de Kohl a- t-elle plus d'importance que la Constitution ? » demande l'hebdomadaire Der Spiegel, tandis que Stern l'accuse de confondre un Etat de droit avec une république bananière sans foi ni loi. Le parquet de Bonn, chargé de l'enquête, devrait demander, avant la fin de la semaine, la levée de l'immunité parlementaire qui le protège. Il pourrait alors être poursuivi pour abus de confiance. La commission d'enquête parlementaire commencera ses travaux au lendemain des fêtes.
Car trop de questions graves attendent réponse : qui a copieusement arrosé de dons la CDU ? Et quelles faveurs le chancelier a-t-il concédées en échange ? En clair : Kohl a-t-il été acheté à coups de pots-de-vin ? « Insupportables accusations », proteste l'intéressé. Les dessous-de- table qui auraient été versés lors du contrat signé par Elf pour la construction de la raffinerie de Leuna, dans l'ex-RDA, risquent de prouver le contraire. Introuvables, les dossiers Elf auraient disparu des placards de la chancellerie.
L'Allemagne effarée découvre le « système Kohl ». Obsédé par le pouvoir, le prédécesseur de Gerhard Schröder a mené son parti à la baguette pendant un quart de siècle, ne tolérant aucune critique, faisant et défaisant les carrières et n'hésitant pas à allonger les billets de banque pour faire céder les réticences et acheter les loyautés. Ceux qui filaient doux étaient arrosés de cadeaux en espèces. Ceux qui s'opposaient au « parrain » étaient bannis. Kohl ne tolérait aucun concurrent susceptible de lui faire de l'ombre.
La CDU est frappée de plein fouet par ce scandale. Menacé de faillite par de gigantesques amendes, sa crédibilité compromise, le parti connaît la crise la plus grave de son histoire. Dans une lettre ouverte publiée dans la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, sa secrétaire générale, Angela Merkel, a incité le parti à s'émanciper de ce patriarche autoritaire. « L'ère Kohl est définitivement révolue. Le parti doit apprendre à marcher tout seul. Il doit à l'avenir mener le combat contre son adversaire politique sans son vieux leader », déclare cette femme de l'Est que Kohl avait baptisée « la gamine » et prise sous son aile au lendemain de l'unification. Mais le mal est fait. En quelques semaines, le parti chrétien-démocrate a dégringolé dans les sondages. Les élections du Schleswig-Holstein, en février, qui semblaient pratiquement acquises, sont compromises et tout le système politique est ébranlé.

@BA: Il s'agit des 90 ans d'Helmut Schmidt, et non pas d'Helmut Kohl...
Bravo pour Laudatio:

J'étais impréssionnée, comme roumaine, d'écouter VGE parler allemand.
Cette idée d'apprendre une langue pour pouvoir parler avec Helmut Schmidt" - une façon raffinée, de partager l'admiration.
