At the call of the Association of Mayors of France, elected officials and citizens gathered in the Municipal Council chamber of Parentis-en-Born to express their support for the municipalities affected by the violence on October 17, 2026, particularly in Limoges where the town hall was set on fire. About sixty people participated in this gathering.
The official declaration of the AMF was read, emphasizing that violence targeting institutions, elected officials, and public servants undermines democratic life. The Town of Parentis-en-Born thus reaffirms its commitment to democracy and respect for republican institutions.
Mayor Marie-Françoise Nadau also addressed a personal message of support to her counterpart in Limoges, Guillaume Guérin, with whom she served on the Regional Council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
“"The boundless violence unleashed on October 17... are not mere overflows at the end of demonstrations. These very serious acts were premeditated and their perpetrators... are dangerous, organized, armed, and determined."
“"Mayors, municipal councilors, public service agents, we commit every day to making our municipalities thrive in peace and unity. Today, we are disgusted and revolted."
“"It is also essential that the work of intelligence services be fully utilized to prevent the infiltration of processions by dangerous individuals and to carry out arrests before demonstrations."
