It is an image that shocked all of France. A huge tag, about fifty meters long, “Anti-pass”, affixed to the wall of Mont Valérien, a place of memory for French resistance fighters and fighters of the Second World War.
However, to prevent such an act, “never seen“according to the mayor of Suresnes, does not happen again, the director of the High places of memory in Ile-de-France, Jean-Baptiste Romain, explains to franceinfo that cameras will be installed very soon on the site.
It is absolute certainty. Today, even if that has only a small deterrent effect, the presence of cameras will be a significant asset for the protection of the memorial. It is a file which will unfortunately be much easier to put together today than it was yesterday.
This could be done in the first weeks of 2022. According to franceinfo, the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture has already contacted the manager, and affirms that it will support the device.
The Mont Valérien esplanade, where the tag has been registered, is now open access, watched by a guard, but “who cannot be everywhere at the same time“, pleads the mayor of Suresnes, Guillaume Boudy.
