French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.
The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.
He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.
Nazi lives don’t matter!
They really really don’t… at all.
Yeah great, let’s be the flip side of the coin instead of a force for betterment in the world. Let’s kill 23 year olds that barely have lived or learned at all and totally will never change in their lives.
He was providing “secutity” to far right agitators, i.e he was the french equivilant of a proud boy or neo nazi. He likely started the fight that killed him. Should those leftists let him beat them to death instead?
Id save your recriminations for better souls. Nazis like him want you dead, and would kill millions of others if they could. When you expouse mass death, the ignorance of youth is no shield.
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, the Balkans, and the Baltics all got to experience the joys of having the Nazis turfed out by opponents on the far left.
