Anne-Françoise Piedallu, mayor of Plougrescant, in the Côtes-d'Armor has, meanwhile, been the victim of sabotage. The brakes on his vehicle were severed.

A new case that illustrates the level of violence that mayors are now targeted. It follows the arson attack on the home and vehicles of the mayor of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins in Loire-Atlantique, whose resignation last week caused a real shock.
