Thursday, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, the Minister Delegate for Industry, was in Toulouse to promote 5G.
A contested technology whose relay antennas are often targeted by arson.
In the evening, two of these installations were engulfed in flames in the Toulouse conurbation.
The first fire broke out south-east of Toulouse shortly before 8 p.m. in the town of Toulouse.
The Haute-Garonne firefighters then intervened north of the Pink City, in Fonbeauzard on a second relay antenna.
Several times over the past year, this type of installation has been targeted by opponents of this technology, which they believe is unnecessary.
Degradation sometimes claimed as was the case last year by an anarchist blog on arson attacks in Toulouse.
