Shocking.
A swastika was drawn on a pedestrian crossing on rue Mégevand, which had been repainted in LGBT rainbow colors in Besançon, according to several local media, including
L 'Est Républicain
.
The symbol of Nazism was also accompanied by a male design.
The mayor of Besançon, Anne Vignot filed a complaint this Saturday.
An investigation has been opened.
Since Mégévand Street is equipped with video protection, the images will be used.
"It is a gesture of extreme violence", underlined the mayor who denounced "a call to hatred, we can not let that pass".
She also recalled "the deportation of several thousand homosexuals" under Nazi Germany.
The inscription was probably drawn on the night of Friday to Saturday, after the Pride March.
