Press release from the municipality:
"The laundering of these works of art is a serious and alarming act that reflects the deep-seated and unabashed racism that certain political leaders encourage and fuel".
It points out that racism and incitement to hatred are offences punishable by law.
The municipal majority, led by Anne Vignot, mayor of Europe-Ecologie Les Verts, is calling for "an investigation into the ultra-right in Besançon for incitement to racial hatred".
