Description
A statue of French icon Abbé Pierre was taken down by two municipal employees in the village of Norges-la-Ville (Côte d'Or region) in eastern France, home to France's second largest Christian Emmaus community, after sexual abuse allegations shattered the French Catholic priest's legacy. Denis Mailler, the mayor of Norges-la-Ville, says 'We can no longer continue to have this image of Abbé Pierre at municipal level, as it would be tantamount to endorsing the actions of Abbé Pierre today.'
