Dozens of graves were smeared with black spray paint: ‘Allah’, ‘cowards’, ‘I hate you’ as well as tags referring to politicians or various events. Tags announce dates of death of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Marine Le Pen or Jordan Bardella or of Pascal Praud, others refer to Mila or ‘Revenge for Cherbourg’.
Tags on Calvaries in Saint-Pantaly-d’Excideuil, Cherveix-Cubas, Saint-Mesmin and Coulaures had already been detected in the neighbouring villages since December. A first cemetery was sprayed in Clermont d’Excideuil at the beginning of March. ‘It’s the same as in the other villages, especially Clermont,’ says the mayor of Tourtoirac.
