In Bouguenais (Loire-Atlantique), this Wednesday, December 15, the plaque paying tribute to Louis Bâle, 33, and Guy Jamet, 23, two young resistance fighters shot on August 25, 1943 in Nantes, was degraded. In a press release, the departmental committee for the remembrance of those shot in Châteaubriant and Nantes and the Resistance in Loire-Inférieure said “to express his emotion and his disapproval of the despicable desecration” of this plate.
He recalls that this “degradation occurs a few days after the degradation of the facade of the Memorial to France as a combatant at Mont-Valérien where five hostages from Nantes were shot on October 22, 1941” And to add: “these acts remind us that the fight against obscurantism must not stop. They are undoubtedly encouraged by the declarations of hatred, the rewriting of history. Pétainism seems to be reborn from its ashes and the predators of history speak in front of microphones and cameras. “
