French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.
The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.
He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.
The avg IQ on Lemmy is either room temperature or it’s full of edgy teenagers having their rebellion moment. It baffles me that saying “yeah, I don’t wanna live in a society where I can be lynched because some mob decided to be judge jury and executioner for a day” is heavily downvoted and gets people triggered smh
If the government actually did its job and stopped the fascist goons then maybe this wouldn’t have happened in the first place?
Lemmy is an echochamber of the far-left, it’s worse than Mastodon.
