Ten days after the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque in Lyon, President Emmanuel Macron convened government officials this week to discuss the fight against 'violent extreme groups'. Although France's far right has historically been divided into several factions, there have been signs of rapprochement in recent years, as seen at the march in Deranque's name held on 21 February.
According to French domestic intelligence services, there are 3,300 individuals currently involved with one of the three main factions of the extreme right in the country: identitarians, revolutionary nationalists and monarchists.
