A trainee at the École nationale de l’administration pénitentiaire (ENAP) in Agen, southwestern France, has been targeted with antisemitic graffiti and death threats. The victim has been placed under protection, and an investigation is underway.
The incidents occurred on Friday, February 27, and Saturday, February 28. According to the local branch of the FO Justice union representing ENAP students, several antisemitic messages were discovered on the door of the trainee’s room on the first day. Authorities immediately opened an investigation, and protective measures were implemented.
The following day, new inscriptions were found, including death threats. Reported messages included “You are dead,” a swastika, “I love Hitler,” and “Fuck dirty Jew.” A second complaint was filed by the targeted trainee.
The FO Justice local office condemned the acts, stating that they constitute “a serious attack on human dignity, republican values, and the fundamental principles of public service.”
Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin publicly denounced the graffiti on X and expressed support for the trainee. He stated that “antisemitism, like any other form of discrimination, has no place within our institutions.” The public prosecutor was immediately notified, and Darmanin added that those responsible, once identified, would be excluded from the administration.
