Commune in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Tourtoirac (French pronunciation: [tuʁtwaʁak]; Occitan: Tortoirac) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
History
On May 6, 2024, 82 graves in the local cemetery were defaced with offensive graffiti, including hate speech, references to political figures, and Islamic connotations. The Périgueux prosecutor's office has indicated a potential connection between this act and a series of similar incidents that began in the previous year involving graffiti on calvaries in the same region. Authorities are investigating to determine if the perpetrators were affiliated with Islamists or extreme right activists.[3]
