One week after the fatal lynching of 23-year-old Quentin Deranque in Lyon, seven suspects were charged Thursday evening, six with voluntary homicide and one with complicity by instigation. The accused, aged 20 to 26 and linked to the ultraleft movement, were placed in provisional detention. The case has sparked intense political debate on violence and ties to La France insoumise.
LFI MP Marie Mesmeur denounced graffiti threatening the lives of her party's militants found at Rennes 2 University, amid extreme tensions following the death of nationalist militant Quentin Deranque in Lyon. These inscriptions, including a swastika and a call for 'justice for Quentin', target her deputy and a municipal election candidate. Mesmeur reported the incidents to the prosecutor and urged complaints.
