Vandals have attacked more than 20 vaccination centres and other health facilities, daubing some with Nazi-themed slogans, as the French government steps up its COVID-19 vaccination drive.
Anger has been fueled by the introduction of a health pass showing proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test which is now mandatory for entering restaurants, trains and other public places.
Across the country, vaccination centres and outdoor testing facilities at pharmacies have been tagged with swastikas and graffiti such as "collaborator", "Nazi" and "genocide".In the Loire valleytown of Neuille-Pont-Pierre last month Stars of David - similar to those Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis - were painted on vaccination centre signs.
In Lans-en-Vercors, southeast France, anti-vaccine graffiti were painted on a community hall that housed a vaccine centre and fire hoses were opened, flooding the facility, local newspaper Le Dauphine reported. In Urrugne, in the Pyrenees, the tent of a temporary vaccination centre was set on fire, while in Audincourt, eastern France, the power supply to a vaccination centre was cut off, endangering vaccine doses in fridges.
