Around 1,000 activists, many clad in black and wearing masks, marched through the streets of Paris on Saturday to commemorate the 1994 death of an ultra-nationalist student. The event, which was initially banned, took place without major incident, according to police, though 13 arrests were made. A counter rally was not authorised.
Demonstrators carried a banner reading “Sébastien Deyzieu Présent” and walked to the beat of drums while chanting “Europa, Youth, Revolution" – the slogan of the GUD, a violent, far-right student union officially disbanded in 2024.
