France Is Awash in Museum Heists

The recent surge in museum heists in France, including nine incidents over the past year, highlights significant security vulnerabilities in cultural institutions. The minimal security measures in place, coupled with the high price of gold, have made museums increasingly appealing targets for criminals. This situation reflects broader concerns about security across Europe, as seen in Denmark's political landscape, where changing attitudes towards EU policies are influenced by rising crime rates. As countries grapple with security issues, the need for enhanced protection of cultural heritage becomes ever more pressing.
