Vandalism Sparked Uproar in Morigny-Champigny

Country: France

Date of incident: January 8, 2016


A Catholic church in Morigny was tagged with grafitti, just days before the Fontainebleau Church was the victim of a serious arson.

Several captions were sprayed with white paint on the church door, as well as on the front of the church: "1905", the year of the separation of Church and State, "freedom, resistance" and "ACAB" an acronym that, according to Le Parisien, could mean "all cops are bastards". Additionally, an upside-down cross (a Satanist symbol) was painted. A complaint was filed by the mayor and the investigation was entrusted to the police of Etampes.
