The prefect of Côtes-Armor, Stéphane Rouvé “condemns in the strongest terms these intolerable acts of vandalism undermining the memory of those who fought barbarism for our freedom”, according to the press release.
This act comes “on the eve of the national day in memory of the victims of racist and anti-Semitic crimes of the French State and of tribute to the Righteous of France”, underlines the prefecture. “These abject degradations remind us that the fight led by these martyrs is still relevant,” she adds.
