On Sunday, three Maghreb flags were placed above the porch of the church of Rayssac in Albi. Before the arrival of the police, alerted by witnesses to the scene, the individuals who were taking pictures while displaying these symbols disappeared.
The scene was brief, but the parish priest of the Sainte-Cécile parish filed a complaint. The flags of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia were stretched over the porch of the church of Rayssac, in Albi. Paul de Cassagnac, parish priest of the Sainte-Cécile parish, states that "it is an execrable and condemnable act of defiance".
He states that "many people were shocked" by this event that affects a religious building.
