Fire at Limoges town hall: David Lisnard denounces “terrorist training camps on the Millevaches plateau”

On the sidelines of demonstrations against “the high cost of living”, on Saturday, the town hall of Limoges (Haute-Vienne) was deliberately ravaged by flames.

The main suspect, an “ultra-left activist on S file”, was arrested by the RAID. The presidential candidate, David Lisnard, who calls on RTL for the “dismantling” of small violent groups, points to the responsibility of “terrorist training camps on the Millevaches plateau” in the fire.

Located at the crossroads of the departments of Corrèze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne, this Limousin plateau is home to a whole breeding ground of radical activists with environmental and social demands. The boss of Nouvelle Énergie assures that, among these activists, there are “a certain number of ex-zadists from Notre-Dame-des-Landes, black blocs, including sometimes those who come from abroad, who are found in certain villages”.

The mayor of Cannes (Alpes-Maritimes) claims that these are “individuals” “who regroup, train in urban guerrilla warfare, acquire equipment, which is heavy, attack equipment”. And to suggest “that they are preparing for police custody, therefore for urban struggle”.

The mayor of Limoges also accused the “ultra-left”

A native of Limoges, the head of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF), took part in the march on Sunday alongside the city's Les Républicains (LR) mayor, Guillaume Guérin. The latter also accused “the French ultra-left”, “those who live all year round partly withdrawn into the localities of the Millevaches plateau”.

David Lisnard also assured that the leader of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, went there “every November 11”, “on a pilgrimage”. The three-time presidential candidate, who has, in fact, already visited this communist bastion, will travel again to the town of Gentioux-Pigerolles, during the next armistice commemorations.
