The inhabitants of Clermont-d’Excideuil in the rural Périgord discovered graffiti on about fifty graves in the village in the early hours of Monday March 11. The inscriptions were similar to tags discovered in recent weeks on calvaries in neighbouring villages.
The village of Clermont-d’Excideuil with its 240 inhabitants in rural Périgord is completely stunned. On Monday morning, March 11, a deputy mayor discovered tags on the 19th March 1962 stele, the war memorial and around 50 graves in the cemetery. The cross on a fountain was also sprayed with graffiti.
On the church door an inscription: “Ramadan”. Inscriptions such as “Allah”, “Dogs gwers” or “The Muslim bear awakens” were painted on the graves. At first glance, these inscriptions resemble the tags that have already been found in recent weeks on calvaries in the neighbouring villages of Saint-Pantaly-d’Excideuil, Cheveix-Cubas and Coulaures. www.francebleu.fr
