Country: France

Date of incident: March 9, 2024


On Saturday, March 9, a group which was praying the rosary at the Cathedral Saint-Étienne de Metz in response to the inclusion of abortion in the constitution, was violently attacked by members of the Antifa.

A group of Catholics had come to pray at the cathedral, while protesters from the 'antifa' movement were on the forecourt, objecting to the flags, including one that represented the Sacred Heart.

Upon leaving, the parishioners were violently assaulted by the Antifa members. The police intervened and made three arrests among members of the Antifa. An investigation has been opened following the clashes.
