In the French department of the Seine-et-Marne near Paris, an attacker painted graves in a local cemetery with a pink swastika. This is reported by TASS with reference to local media.
In addition to the cemetery, drawings have appeared on the walls of churches and the city hall of the commune. Police later arrested a 41-year-old man with cylinders of the same paint.
The attacker's motives are not disclosed. However, the police noted, the detainee may have some “psychological problems”, and the version of racism and anti-Semitism is ruled out.
In December, German police launched an investigation after a swastika was found in a lawmakers' office building next to the parliament in Berlin. A spokesman for the Bundestag said that a symbol banned in the country was scratched on the door of one of the elevators.
Taylor Nichols, a physician with Jewish roots, who previously works with coronavirus patients in the United States, admitted that he did not want to treat one of the seriously ill after he saw neo-Nazi symbols among his tattoos. He noted that it was not only difficult for him to look at the tattoos – two more doctors were preparing the patient for intubation with him.
