French Cultural Institute in Athens Targeted in Arson Attack

Violent protests left dozens of buildings aflame in Athens

Shocking news from Athens:

Greek police said arsonists targeted the French cultural institute in Athens on Monday causing minor damage but no injuries. A car parked outside the building was torched, damaging a second vehicle nearby. The unidentified attackers also smashed windows at the institute. The French Institute conducts cultural and educational programs. There were no immediate claims of responsibility, and it was not clear why the institution was targeted, police said (Reuters "French Institute in Athens targeted in arson attack", Mon Feb 27, 2017).

If the Greeks refuse to accept the cultural missions of other nations, why should we help them to 'preserve their culture' by repressing collectors? What kind of values does this sort of behavior represent?
