This tag was accompanied by a sickle and a hammer, as well as PCM initials. The act was finally claimed in a letter sent to the regional daily by the Maoist Communist Party. "Parasites like De Rugy who eat lobster, live in luxury and take advantage of social housing thanks to the money stolen from workers must be denounced and fought," he wrote.

Police have made findings

Mediapart said in an article that this apartment was a "preferential social housing". The minister defended himself by saying that he never knew of this information. Fragilized by multiple revelations, the Minister of Ecological Transition eventually resigned.

Still according to Presse Océan , technical and scientific police findings were carried out by a police patrol and a technician.
