Lyon (AFP) – French President Emmanuel Macron appealed on Saturday for cooler heads to prevail ahead of a rally for far-right activist Quentin Deranque whose killing, blamed on the hard left, has put the country on edge.
Macron also said his government would hold a meeting next week to discuss "violent action groups" in the wake of the fatal beating of Quentin Deranque, which has ignited tensions between the left and right ahead of the 2027 presidential vote.
