(I don't want to snitch anyone out, but does anyone know where Cederq was on Sunday morning? I've heard him say "I'd kinda' like having a nice tiara to wear around the house when I'm feeling special.." ... Just sayin.')
The Louvre's head of security has been accused of being a diversity hire who put France's national treasures at risk, following the shocking heist of Napoleonic jewelry over the weekend.
Dominique Buffin, 46, was hired as the Louvre's first female security chief by Laurence Des Cars, the museum's first female director, last year.
But Buffin, who has worked with the police and at France's ministry of culture, was accused of being hired as part of a 'feminization policy'.
And both Buffin and Des Cars have faced calls to resign, following the 'theft of the decade' of eight pieces of the French Crown Jewels on October 19.
Eight objects were taken, according to officials. One object, the emerald-set imperial crown of Napoleon III's wife, Empress Eugénie, containing more than 1,300 diamonds, was later found outside the museum, French authorities said.
A worker in the Louvre filmed a person in the Apollo Gallery on Sunday morning wearing a yellow jacket and standing by a glass encasing.
Marion Maréchal, who leads the far-right Identity–Liberties party, wrote on social media: '[Culture minister] Rachida Dati must demand the immediate resignation of the museum's director Laurence Des Cars and the security chief Dominique Buffin, whom she appointed... as part of a feminization policy.
'Evidently at the cost of forgoing competence and endangering the cultural heritage of our nation.'
