La bataille va être saignante !

As delegates gathered in a vast hall under portraits of revolutionary leaders Ho Chi Minh, Marx and Lenin, there were indications that the party old guard would push out pro-market leaning reformers led by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung. “Nguyen Tan Dung’s political career can be declared ‘clinically dead,'” one senior communist party official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP.

A Post-Mortem of Vietnam’s Communist Party Congress

Since Vietnam’s constitution gives the president plenty of power, including the authority to propose the election and dismissal of all government officials and overall command of the armed forces, Quang could limit the influence of the prime minister if he chooses to exercise his constitutional power. Furthermore, while Dung ranked second in the former Politburo, Phuc ranks only sixth in the the new Politburo. He is not expected to exercise the same amount of power as Dung did.

Trong was ostensibly reelected to preserve the unity of the party, but he is not expected to serve a full term. When he steps down, the Central Committee will elect a replacement. If it chooses to elect Quang as general secretary and allows him to retain his position as state president, it would make him first among equals and facilitate the country’s capability to take quick, timely, and decisive actions.

FLASH Info

PM Dung ne serait pas Secrétaire Général du Parti. Ses réformes sont critiquées par le Congrès. Il serait poussé vers la sortie politique. Le parti vire vers la gauche toute, pro-chinoise !

Nguyen Phu Trong (seul candidat) restera le Secrétaire Général du Parti. Le nouveau Premier Ministre sera nommé par l’Assemblée du Peuple plus tard. Ce ne sera pas Dung !

Les Etats-Unis vont perdre un allié de poids dans la Région, surtout dans le conflit de la Mer de Chine du Sud avec la Chine.

Quelles seraient les conséquences de cette secousse politique au Vietnam pour le Cambodge ?

La nouvelle équipe va continuer les réformes entreprises par Dung le Premier Ministre sortant, spécifiquement en ce qui concerne le volet TPP signé par le Vietnam. Dans le domaine de la politique étrangère un équilibre est à trouver dans les relations avec la Chine et les Etats-Unis surtout dans le conflit de la Mer de Chine du Sud.
