（巴黎18日讯）法国利摩日市政厅上周六（17日）遭蒙面抗议者纵火焚毁，大部分损毁。当地最高官员告诉法新社。
当地行政长官巴拉特说：“除了西翼外，屋顶已坍塌到较低楼层，2/3的外墙已经消失。”
他称，这座拥有143年历史的建筑遭受如此严重的破坏是“文化遗产的灾难”，并谴责这是“暴徒的蓄意行为”。
这座19世纪的建筑于1883年开放，其设计灵感源自巴黎市政厅，已被列为保护文物。
17日，法国各地爆发了抗议生活成本上涨的示威活动，骚乱席卷全法国。就在这起纵火案发生期间，利摩日市政厅发生了一起纵火案。
据目击者称，一群蒙面示威者在市政厅外焚烧了一辆警车后，又砸碎窗户进入大楼纵火。
消防员于17日晚间赶到现场试图控制火势。
数百名民众围观火灾，一名市政工作人员泪流满面，一位当地议员上前安慰他。
利摩日市中心的几家商店也遭到洗劫。
一座历史悠久的市政厅被摧毁，将原本以和平游行为主的一天演变成一场全国性事件，并将主导政治回应。值得关注的面向包括：火灾扑灭后官方的损失和文物评估、纵火嫌犯的逮捕和指控、政府的应对措施（包括任何新的安全措施），以及工会和学生团体是否会与暴力事件划清界线。

Limoges city hall set on fire by rioters at the end of the Oct. 17 protest; the bell tower collapsed and the prefect says the building is "largely lost" Rioters attacked Limoges' hôtel de ville late Saturday afternoon after the Oct. 17 cost-of-living march, breaking windows and setting fire to the ground floor; cars were also burned outside. Firefighters arrived shortly after 6 p.m., and the flames reached the roof around 7 p.m. and were still burning at 8:10 p.m. The 43-meter bell tower collapsed. Prefect Maurice Barate said the roof fell onto the lower floors except in the west wing and two-thirds of the facade had disappeared, calling the building "largely lost," a "heritage catastrophe" and a "deliberate act" by rioters. The 19th-century building, opened in 1883 and inspired by Paris's city hall, is a listed monument. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez confirmed the fire; Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said "we will not be intimidated." Earlier in Limoges, fireworks mortars were fired at police near the A20 interchange, a police vehicle was burned and shops were looted. Reported by AFP, franceinfo, Europe 1 and Flash FM. NOT CONFIRMED: Which artworks and decorations inside have been destroyed. Claims that works by Henri-Paul Motte, Jean-Joseph Weerts and Urbain Bourgeois are definitively lost have not been confirmed by officials, and no inventory has been published. I also found no figure on injuries or arrests in Limoges. Saturday's national mobilization against the cost of living drew a very large turnout, with CNews reporting more than 550,000 demonstrators, while violence was concentrated in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Limoges, including a brief break-in at Marseille's city hall. The loss of a historic city hall turns a day of mostly peaceful marches into a symbolic national event and will dominate the political response. What to watch: the official damage and heritage assessment once the fire is out, arrests and charges for arson, the government's response including any new security measures, and whether the unions and student groups distance themselves from the violence.
