Efrain Rios Montt<\/strong><\/span> na\u00eet le 16 juin 1924 au Guatemala<\/strong><\/a>. Il commence sa carri\u00e8re militaire comme cadet en 1946 et devient g\u00e9n\u00e9ral en 1972. Il est chef de l’Etat-Major entre 1970 et 1974. En 1974, il se pr\u00e9sente comme candidat pr\u00e9sidentiel pour une coalition qui comprend le Parti D\u00e9mocratie Chr\u00e9tienne. Il gagne mais une fraude permet au g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Kjell Laugerud, candidat de l’arm\u00e9e, de prendre le pouvoir.<\/p>\n
 <\/div>\n
En 1978, Rios Montt devient pasteur de la secte \u00e9vang\u00e9lique Eglise du Verbe, d’origine \u00e9tats-unienne, et quitte l’arm\u00e9e. En mars 1982, les promoteurs d’un coup d’Etat contre le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Lucas Garcia qui avait succ\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Laugerud le placent \u00e0 la t\u00eate de la Junte militaire. Sa politique de la terre br\u00fbl\u00e9e m\u00e8ne \u00e0 une r\u00e9pression caract\u00e9ris\u00e9e par le massacre de populations indiennes et l’an\u00e9antissement de 440 villages indiens, provoquant des milliers de victimes enfouies dans des centaines de fosses communes clandestines.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Rios Montt est \u00e0 son tour \u00e9cart\u00e9 du pouvoir par un coup d’Etat de son ministre de la D\u00e9fense, Mejia Victores en ao\u00fbt 1983.<\/div>\n
Plus tard, il fonde un parti politique, le Front R\u00e9publicain Guat\u00e9malt\u00e8que (FRG).<\/div>\n
En 2000, il devient Pr\u00e9sident du Congr\u00e8s.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Le 5 mars 2001, la Cour supr\u00eame lui retire son immunit\u00e9 pour fraude, falsification de documents et destruction de preuves dans une sombre affaire de taxes sur des boissons gazeuses. Mais une man\u0153uvre du FRG, majoritaire au Congr\u00e8s, lui permet de la regagner. Il veut alors se pr\u00e9senter aux \u00e9lections pr\u00e9sidentielles de novembre 2003. L’article 126 de la Constitution de 1985 ne permettant pas aux personnes ayant pris le pouvoir par un coup d’Etat de postuler, Rios Montt fait changer les membres de la Cour Constitutionnelle puis lui demande l’autorisation de pr\u00e9senter sa candidature pr\u00e9sidentielle. Le 14 juillet 2003, la Cour, par 4 voix contre 3, la lui accorde…<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Aux \u00e9lections, il arrive \u00e0 la 3e place avec 19,7% des voix, ce qui signifie sans doute sa fin politique. N’\u00e9tant plus d\u00e9put\u00e9, le 14 janvier 2004, il perd son immunit\u00e9 parlementaire.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
En mars 2004, il est assign\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9sidence pour sa responsabilit\u00e9 dans l’organisation des manifestations violentes du ‘Jeudi Noir’ de juillet 2003 lorsque des manifestations extr\u00eamement violentes avaient secou\u00e9 le pays avant les \u00e9lections, manifestations qui semblent maintenant avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 organis\u00e9es par le FRG dont il \u00e9tait le chef. La Cour d’appel a confirm\u00e9 cette assignation \u00e0 domicile.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
D’autre part, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Rios Montt est l’objet d’une proc\u00e9dure judiciaire en Espagne, mais \u00e9galement au Guat\u00e9mala.<\/div>\n
