The Basilica of Saint-Nazaire-et-Saint-Celse, jewel of the city of Carcassonne, hosted a mass in honor of Louis XVI on Saturday afternoon. Four days after the anniversary of the king's execution, January 21, 1793, the atmosphere was not really meditative in front of the building. According to L'Indépendant , a dozen young royalists have faced around twenty antifas, located at the other end of the political spectrum.
After an exchange of invective, a chair sent by a member of Action Française is said to have launched hostilities with minor injuries in each camp, the regional daily said. The police arrived after the fight.
Already feared overflows
Their coming was already planned because a torchlight march of the monarchists, scheduled after the religious ceremony, raised fears of overflows between the two camps.
