"Everything will be done" to prosecute the authors of the tags discovered at the Oradour-sur-Glane Memory Center, martyred village of the Second World War, reacted Saturday the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, denouncing an act "unspeakable" ".

The Head of State "strongly condemns this unspeakable act." He gives his full support to the mayor and the municipality. He assures them that everything will be done so that the perpetrators of this act are brought to justice ”, communicated the Elysee.

The inscriptions, discovered on Friday, call into question the reality of the massacre of more than 600 villagers in June 1944. On a photo uploaded by the  Popular Center , we see the word "martyr" scratched in paint, a blue tarpaulin covering inscriptions. According to the newspaper, "the word 'liar' has been added as well as a reference to a revisionist and to the theories that regularly resurface about the martyr village of Upper Viennese." An investigation was opened at the Limoges public prosecutor's office.
