On September 9, 2025, pig heads were found at the entrances of nine Muslim mosques across France, sparking outrage. Several of them had “MACRON” written in blue ink. French authorities suspect foreign interference, hinting at possible Russian involvement.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau noted that the incidents are part of a series of provocative actions since 2023, including anti-Semitic graffiti, pro-Russian posters, and attacks on Jewish memorials. These acts reflect hybrid destabilization tactics previously attributed to Russian influence networks.
