The information was revealed, and especially relayed, by social networks. The statue of Notre-Dame de Lavasina, installed on the seafront of Ajaccio, was decapitated, which provoked the indignation of many Internet users.

This is yet another act of vandalism perpetrated on religious symbols in just a few months in Corsica. On Saturday April 29, the scout camp in the town of Vero, where a makeshift altar was installed, had been vandalized. On April 12, residents of Sevani, in Ajaccio, denounced acts of vandalism perpetrated against a statuette of the Virgin placed in a small stone arch near Petit Capo beach.

Two weeks later, on April 27, the picture of the decapitated cross of the Saint-Jean pass, in Sisco, had provoked a strong anger, of which the mayor of the commune had made himself the megaphone. “It’s a revolting act,” reacted Ange-Pierre Vivoni.
