varsovie: un adolescent interpellé pour avoir tenté d'incendier une synagogue avec un cocktail molotov

Une synagogue de Varsovie en Pologne a été brièvement incendiée le 1er mai 2024

La police polonaise a annoncé ce mercredi 1er mai au soir avoir interpellé un adolescent impliqué dans la tentative d’incendier une synagogue historique à Varsovie.

La police a annoncé sur X avoir “interpellé un homme de 16 ans, citoyen polonais, impliqué dans l’incident”. Le vice-ministre polonais de l’Intérieur, Czeslaw Mroczek, a précisé qu’il s’agissait de la “personne soupçonnée d’avoir tenté de mettre le feu à la synagogue”.

Des dégâts mineurs

L’attaque au cocktail Molotov, survenue dans la nuit de mardi à mercredi, n’a causé que des dégâts mineurs au bâtiment, a constaté un photographe de l’AFP.

Mais cette attaque a suscité l’indignation de la communauté juive de la capitale et des autorités polonaises.

“Heureusement, la synagogue était vide la nuit et les dégâts matériels sont mineurs”, a réagi Eliza Panek, la vice-présidente de la communauté juive de Varsovie.

Le président polonais a blâmé une “attaque honteuse” contre la seule des grandes synagogues de Varsovie à avoir survécu aux destructions de la Seconde guerre mondiale.

“Je condamne l’attaque honteuse contre la synagogue Nozyk à Varsovie. L’antisémitisme n’a pas sa place en Pologne! Il n’y a pas de place en Pologne pour la haine!”, a écrit Andrzej Duda sur X.

Le ministre polonais des Affaires étrangères Radoslaw Sikorski s’est lui interrogé sur l’identité de ceux “qui essaient de perturber notre anniversaire d’adhésion à l’UE”, il y a exactement 20 ans, le 1er mai 2004.
