Occupy Wall street: un bon test pour le maire Bloomberg


Comment se partager entre Wall street et la liberté d'expression? Contrairement à ses habitudes, le maire Bloomberg ne tranche pas rapidement dans le dossier des indignés regroupés à Zuccotti park.

"Mr. Bloomberg’s evolving response to the protest has come to embody a central tension in his third term, between his celebration of free, and at times cacophonous, speech as a hallmark of New York, and his emphasis on bolstering the city’s economy by improving its appeal to residents, employers and tourists. Mr. Bloomberg, who is generally known for his decisiveness, at first emphasized his disagreements with the protesters, then began describing them as peaceful dissenters exercising a fundamental liberty. In the last several days, he has sounded increasingly exasperated, a reflection of complaints from neighbors and accusations of criminal activity in Zuccotti Park.

“There is no easy answer,” Mr. Bloomberg told reporters on Thursday morning. “But there is a right answer, and the right answer is allow people to protest, but at the same time enforce public safety, provide public safety and quality-of-life issues, and we will continue to do that.”"
