3 août : quand la police du dictateur portugais tirait sur la foule en Guinée-Bissau
La Guinée, autour de Bissau, sa capitale, était alors une colonie portugaise. Les dockers du port de Pidjiguiti, à Bissau, manifestaient pour de meilleurs salaires. N’ayant pas obtenu gain de cause, ils ont entamé une grève dans l’après-midi du 3 août 1959. Le représentant de l’État portugais a fait aussitôt appel à la Police internationale et de défense de l'État, la sinistre PIDE au service de la dictature portugaise. Les policiers tirent sur les grévistes faisant une cinquantaine de morts et une centaine de blessés. La plupart était des marins, des débardeurs et des dockers, travaillaint pour Casa Gouveia, un monopole commercial intermédiaire du groupe CUF (Companhia União Fabril).
Un mouvement indépendantiste, le Parti africain pour l'indépendance de la Guinée et du Cap-Vert, mené par Amilcar Cabrar, manifestait depuis 1956 de manière non-violence pour l’indépendance. C’est le massacre de Pidjiguiti, suivi d’autres, qui a amené le PAICG à abandonner la résistance non violente pour une lutte armée. La guerre d’indépendance de la Guinée-Bissau a débuté en 1963, elle durera jusqu’en 1974 avec l’annonce de l’indépendance.
Après l'indépendance, la mémoire de Pindjiguiti sera mobilisée comme l'un des symboles et des fondements de l'État indépendant, inséparable du Parti, et, encore une fois, de l'exigence d'unité. L'indépendance est célébrée comme une restauration de la justice qui honore les martyrs du colonialisme, avec un accent énorme sur les victimes du massacre. C'est ainsi que le 3 août est déclaré fête nationale et que, entre 1975 et 1980, une série d'initiatives sont menées qui confortent la centralité de l'imagerie du massacre.
L’anniversaire du massacre du 3 août, la Journée des Martyrs de la colonisation (Dia dos mártires da colonização), est donc un jour férié national en Guinée-Bissau et une journée publique de commémoration qui se déroule avenida 3 de Agosto, la grande avenue de la capitale. Près des quais, un grand poing noir a été érigé, il est connu sous le nom de “Main de Timba “ et sert de monument commémoratif.

On this day in 1959, the Pidjiguiti Massacre occurred when colonizers killed dozens of striking dock workers in Portuguese Guinea. The event led PAIGC, a party of leftist revolutionaries, to abandon their non-violent tactics and initiate a successful war of independence against Portugal.
The Pidjiguiti Massacre was an attack on striking workers that took place on this day in 1959, at the Port of Bissau's Pidjiguiti docks in Bissau, Portuguese Guinea. Dock workers there went on strike, seeking higher pay, but the manager called the Portuguese state police (PIDE), who fired into the crowd, killing at least 25 people (some estimates are closer to 50).
The government blamed the left-wing revolutionary group Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde (PAIGC), arresting several of its members. One notable founder and leader of the party was Amílcar Cabral, a pan-African socialist assassinated in 1973.
The incident caused PAIGC to abandon their campaign of nonviolent resistance, leading directly to the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence in 1963 (sometimes known as "Portugal's Vietnam", because of the protracted guerrilla warfare and political strife within the colonizing country), which culminated in independence for Cape Verde and all of Portuguese Africa.
Today, near the Pidjiguiti docks, there is a large black fist known as the "Hand of Timba", which commemorates those killed that day.

Afrodite, Sena e o ipiranga do corpo
Há alturas em que é preciso bater no fundo, deixar o mar recuar de vez e observar o que sempre esteve lá por baixo. Por vezes, é preciso despovoar a história, reduzir a zero o inventário da felicidade imaginária e os ovos moles do tempo. Jorge de Sena fê-lo na sua época contra tudo e contra todos. O testemunho de Marcello Duarte Mathias, no segundo dos cinco volumes do seu diário, fala por si quando se refere a Sena como “praguejante e gesticulatório despovoando tudo e todos à sua volta da mesma santíssima fúria homicida: o Brasil, e os Estados Unidos, o Estado Novo e o 25 de Abril, os intelectuais e os que o não são, incluindo o próprio Pessoa que também não escapa à sua ira redentora (coitado, não há maneira de o deixarem em paz!) – ninguém e coisa nenhuma merece graça aos seus olhos.”. Diga-se o que se disser, o país – qualquer país – precisa, de tempos a tempos, de seres abrasivos e lancinantes, que originem depois estes prantos e queixumes tão tardios quanto inúteis.
Lembro-me de Eugénio Lisboa me ter dito, há muitos anos, em Londres, que as grandes transformações da língua literária portuguesa tinham tido lugar nas diásporas. O filão ligava entre outros, Camões a Padre António Vieira, Francisco Manuel de Melo a Garrett e, naturalmente, Pessoa a Sena. Não é altura de me precipitar numa análise à escrita do autor, pois, nesta circunstância, dele interessa-me bem mais o vulcão insaciado, a personagem acrobata e inconformada e a figura do guerreiro, por vezes cego, que fez da contenda um móbil constante de afirmação, apesar do ‘mau jeito’ que causou a muitos dos seus solícitos contemporâneos.
Há quase seis décadas, mais propriamente no dia 7 de Agosto de 1959, Sena chegava ao Brasil dando início a um exílio voluntário. O autor, então com 39 anos, viveria logo a seguir uma fase de escrita particularmente fértil. São da sua lavra, na altura, muitos dos poemas de Metamorfoses, parte dos poemas de Arte de Música, praticamente todo o romance Sinais de Fogo (que viria se ser publicado postumamente), O Físico Prodigioso e ainda alguns ensaios sobre Camões.
Recuemos até esse longínquo ano de 1959 para ver o estado do rectângulozinho a que Sena escapara. Logo no início do ano, Humberto Delgado refugiou-se na Embaixada do Brasil em Lisboa e pediu asilo político. Em Março, um movimento revolucionário contra o regime salazarista em que Sena se envolveu, denominado “Revolta da Sé”, acabaria por ser desmantelado pela PIDE.
Dois meses depois, o Cristo-Rei em Almada, projecto quadrado de Francisco Franco, era inaugurado, enquanto Henrique Galvão partia para a Argentina na qualidade de exilado político. Nos primeiros dias de Agosto, teve lugar o massacre de Pidjiguiti na Guiné (uma greve dos estivadores do porto de Bissau que acabaria selvaticamente com mais de cinquenta mortos). No Outono desse ano em que surgiu Aparição de Vergílio Ferreira, um outro romance, Quando os lobos uivam de Aquilino Ribeiro, era apreendido e, depois, viria mesmo a ser alvo de um processo judicial.
Enquanto esta miserável melopeia avançava em Portugal e a guerra colonial estava prestes a iniciar-se, Jorge de Sena soube distanciar-se do pântano e construiu mundo. Talvez o sinal mais simbólico dessa viragem radical (ou desse corte umbilical) se encontre nos famosos quatro sonetos a Afrodite Anadiómena que foram publicados em 1961 na revista Invenção de São Paulo, sendo posteriormente inseridos em Metamorfoses. O próprio poeta explicou o sentido desta escrita única: “O que eu pretendo é que as palavras deixem de significar semanticamente, para representarem um complexo de imagens suscitadas à consciência liminar pelas associações sonoras que as compõem.” (…) “creio ser curioso como, ligeiramente transformados na acentuação (alguns), igualmente contribuem para a criação de uma atmosfera erótica, concreta, cuja concretização não depende do sentido das palavras, mas da fragmentação delas integrada num sentido mais vasto, evocativo e obsessivo.”.
Para gáudio dos leitores, deixo aqui em baixo transcritos os dois primeiros desses quatro sonetos. Eles representam, não apenas a ruptura total com a sofreguidão lusitana da época, mas também, tal como se referiu no início desta breve crónica, a postura de quem sabe que é urgente bater no fundo e fazer reaparecer o que é de todos: o corpo, o corpo livre, o corpo desamarrado com que, mais tarde, as Novas Cartas Portuguesas viriam a selar este longuíssimo ipiranga, gritado contra a moralidade da pátria salazarenga (que persiste ainda em muitos e inauditos lugares do nosso tempo).

August 3, 1959: Portuguese police kill 50+ striking dockworkers in Guinea
On August 3, 1959, Portuguese officers of the International and State Defense Police (PIDE) opened fire on a group of striking dockworkers in Bissau, killing at least fifty people. Several European colonies in Africa had been granted political independence, and many more were on a similar road, but Portugal had resisted taking similar action with its African colonies. The semi-clandestine African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) had been organizing supporters since 1956, and became involved in a strike for better salaries for the dockworkers at the port of Pidjiguiti in Bissau. The PIDE arrived at the dock where the workers were picketing and opened fire, while the military prevented people from leaving the area. At least fifty people were killed. The government blamed PAIGC for causing "trouble", and the organization went underground. The PAIGC soon turned to armed struggle, and fought a long war for independence alongside revolutionary movements in Portugal's other African colonies, and supported by China, Cuba, and the Soviet bloc. Guinea-Bissau, along with Portugal's other African colonies, finally won independence after a military coup in Lisbon.
