Following the death of far-right militant Quentin Deranque in Lyon on February 14, Republicans are calling for a political isolation of La France insoumise (LFI), accused of fostering violence. LFI leaders deny any responsibility and remain open to left-wing alliances for the 2026 municipal elections. The Socialist Party is hesitant on these proposals due to the alleged involvement of an LFI deputy's staff in the case.
The homicide of Quentin Deranque, a far-right militant, on February 14, has placed antifascism at the center of a political debate on militant brutality. In a tribune, historian Pierre Salmon emphasizes that antifascism, originating in 1920s Italy, largely rejects violence unlike its fascist opponents.
