Pig heads found at nine Paris mosques and suburbs, some marked with Macron's name, termed a targeted anti-Muslim act by authorities.

Early Tuesday incidents prompted top-level Paris police probe for incitement to anti-Muslim hate and discrimination.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau condemned the attacks and affirmed the state’s support for Muslims in France, who number over six million.

Paris police chief Laurent Nunez did not rule out the possibility of foreign interference aimed at destabilizing France during a period of political and fiscal uncertainty.

The acts come amid a documented surge in anti-Islamic sentiment. Figures show 181 anti-Muslim acts in 2025's first half—up 81% from 2024's same period.

Community leaders like Bassirou Camara of anti-discrimination group ADDAM note that mosque-goers are experiencing growing fear and stigmatization.
