Fire at Limoges town hall: support, investigation and reconstruction

On October 17, 2026, the Limoges town hall was largely destroyed by a fire that broke out during a demonstration. In the following days, local support initiatives multiplied, including embroidered t-shirts sold by a seamstress and the basketball club, while municipal services were relocated to the Beaublanc barracks starting on October 29. On October 30, the National Assembly adopted a tax measure for donations intended for reconstruction, and the crowdfunding campaign reached one million euros on November 2; the Muslim community of Haute-Vienne also launched a donation appeal. Regarding the judicial aspect, several suspects were arrested and charged; the main suspect is described as an ultra-left activist with an S-file (security file) close to Soulèvements de la Terre, and a third suspect was arrested. Their lawyers denounced a violation of the presumption of innocence and political pressure, while a committee called for a rally on November 3 in front of the Limoges Court of Appeal to support the two men charged and demand their release.
