In Agde, the anti-communist commemorations by the RN mayor provoke anger from opposition parties and unions

The inauguration of a memorial for victims of communism in Agde, led by the RN mayor, has sparked backlash from opposition parties and unions. They criticize the initiative as spreading a false ideology and argue that it overlooks the victims of Nazi occupation. The mayor, Aurélien Lopez-Liguori, defends the memorial as a necessary recognition of all totalitarian regime victims. Opposition group 100% Agde has filed a request for the mayor to cancel the inauguration, claiming it lacked municipal council approval. Local communist and socialist parties, along with unions, have condemned the mayor's actions, emphasizing the city's historical context regarding Nazi victims.
