Several anti-Semitic inscriptions in early November
In early November, the first anti-Semitic tags appeared on the walls of the city of Bollwerk, near the city center.
They were quickly erased by municipal services.
New tags were added in the days that followed, and over the weekend, still in the same neighborhood.
The local section of Licra (International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism) has also expressed its intention to take legal action.
