Limoges town hall fire: investigation, reconstruction and reactions
On October 17, Limoges town hall was set on fire during a mobilization. The main suspect is appealing his indictment and pre-trial detention, his lawyer also requesting a change of venue for the investigation. On October 25, his lawyer denounces attacks on the presumption of innocence and announces he wants to request a change of venue for the inquiry, while the Fondation du patrimoine says it has raised more than 543,000 euros to fund the reconstruction. Mayor Guillaume Guérin compares the fire to that of the Reichstag in 1933 in Die Zeit, and Stéphane Bern announces a program to support the reconstruction. Ten days later, the rescued artworks begin a drying, cleaning and restoration process, and the 250 municipal employees have been redeployed to ensure continuity of public service.
