The facts would go back to Tuesday at the end of the morning and were reported by the mayor LR of Nice. According to Christian Estrosi, "all the crosses in square 21 of the eastern cemetery were torn down and thrown to the ground". The elected official denounces "a desecration" and an "intolerable and unspeakable Christian act" and indicates that the community will file a complaint.

"This is an unacceptable outrage which I strongly condemn. Desecration, the deterioration of graves is an attack on human dignity and respect due to our dead, "reacted the mayor of the French Riviera capital, testifying to his" full support and my deep solidarity with all the families affected ".

The Nice prosecution, questioned by 20 Minutes in the morning, had not been notified. The city of Nice specifies that it will file a complaint in the course of the afternoon.
