Video: Massive fire due to protests!

The city hall building in Limoges, central France, was hit by a massive fire during violence accompanying protests over the rising cost of living, causing large parts of the historic building to collapse. The prefect of Haute-Vienne, Maurice Barate, announced that the fire caused the roof and tower to collapse and destroyed about two-thirds of the building's facade, describing what happened as a "heritage disaster" and indicating that the fire resulted from a deliberate act of sabotage.
