Face au terrorisme, Manchester déploie son esprit de résistance

Des dizaines de milliers de Mancuniens se sont rassemblés à Albert Square pour envoyer le message qu’ils ne se laisseraient pas intimider par les terroristes

A 18 h 20, mardi 23 mai, Manchester s’est tue. Amassés à Albert Square, au centre-ville, des dizaines de milliers de Mancuniens ont marqué une minute de silence d’une extrême solennité. Pas un raclement de gorge ou une toux ne se faisaient entendre. L’heure était au recueillement. Sur le visage de Sean Dunn, des larmes coulaient doucement.

L’homme de 70 ans passés était venu comme les autres rendre un dernier hommage aux victimes de l’attaque terroriste de lundi soir, qui a fait vingt-deux morts et cinquante-neuf blessés. « Je suis venu par défi, précise-t-il. Les gens de Manchester sont fiers de leur ville, et ils ne se plieront jamais aux menaces. »

Défi. Le mot tourne en boucle à Manchester depuis l’attentat. « Dans le bus, en me rendant au travail ce matin, j’étais extrêmement en colère, témoigne Susanne Ordish. Comment osent-ils croire qu’ils peuvent nous faire peur et nous empêcher de nous amuser ? » Athée « plus que jamais », née et grandie à Manchester, elle rappelle que sa ville a toujours été un esprit rebelle : la grande cité du nord de l’Angleterre, berceau de la révolution industrielle, ancien bastion anti-Thatcher, n’entend pas courber l’échine aujourd’hui. « Ils ne peuvent pas instiller la peur en nous », ajoute Martha Philipps, une étudiante de dix-neuf ans.
