A threatening inscription was discovered in the Sancta Maria in Albis Church in Breil-sur-Roya which read "The only church that illuminates is the one that burns." The phrase, which is commonly used in anarchist circles, has been denounced by the town hall as an attack and a threat on a place of worship.
On 20 July 2026, a disturbing inscription was discovered inside the Sancta Maria in Albis Church in Breil-sur-Roya. According to the report, the phrase, written in Spanish, echoes words used by the anarchist Buenaventura Durruti: "The only church that illuminates is the one that burns."
The mayor posted on social media his strong condemnation of "this attack on a place of worship dear to the people of Breil", which he further wrote "could encourage or foreshadow a much more serious act," alluding to the implicit threat of the message.
