A controversial mass honoring Philippe Pétain was held in Verdun, sparking public outrage and leading to two complaints filed by the Meuse prefect. The event, which took place in a tense atmosphere, was criticized for its revisionist views and the closure of the church to the public. The mayor of Verdun, Samuel Hazard, expressed his disappointment and attempted to prevent the mass, stating that Pétain is "the antithesis of humanity." The mayor's lawyer, Fabrice Hagnier, condemned the event for promoting revisionist theses. Local residents, including Mariette who identified herself as "Catho mais pas facho" (Catholic but not a fascist), protested against the mass. Despite the mayor's efforts, the justice system allowed the mass to proceed.
