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.
If National Rally were in any position of power, this easily could have become France’s Reichstag Fire moment.
Such a tragedy
If some of you don’t know this, Macron is surpringly a good “no bullshit” person in international politics, however in terms of internal politics and government issues he’s not that popular.
In other words, he should be in Bruxelles. And he’s be a really solid guy.
rot in hell you nazi fuck.
Nazi lives don’t matter!
They really really don’t… at all.
Nazi lives don’t matter.
His supporters say he was providing “security” - we all know the far-right lie 100% of the time, so he probably started a fight and lost his life.
Providing security in the way that Hitler’s people did in the early 30’s.
By showing up in numbers, starting fights, and then claiming to be defending themselves. A tried-and-true Nazi propaganda tactic, and I’m glad the French aren’t standing for it.
It’s “security” to a “counter protest”. We all know what that means. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
“Chill out, everybody calm down. Its was just a nazi, the fucker got what was coming to him.”
The French have a proud tradition to maintain.
I forget, what is the only good nazi…?
It rhymes with shed I think
The only good nazi is a sled nazi? Crikey, I wish they’d all just die!
…
Hey, wait a minute!!!
Von Braun? No, that isn’t it.
“Hatred that kills has no place in our country” - Man trying to stop hateful people who want to kill from facing consequences of their actions.
Nothing of value was lost
Far right meaning Nazi in this case?
I won’t cry any tears for dead Nazis.

You go Frenchies that is based.
Before sending fake news like that, please favt check what you are posting!
This comment section looks exactly like the comment section of a post in a right-wing place that discusses the news of a far left person being killed.
Are you ignoring that the context of those two are different on purpose or just missing that part?
No, I’m not ignoring the context.
There’s a reason the death penalty has been abolished in most of the world. Just because someone kills people doesn’t mean that you should kill them in turn, and celebrating deaths is similar.
Especially when it is not clearly known who the victim was.
So you’re willfully ignoring
How can I willfully ignore that for which there is no information on? For all we know, the person that was killed could have been led there under false pretenses, could have been forced to be there, was heavily abused and then emotionally exploited to be there, the beating could’ve been made because he slept with one of the attackers girlfriend, etc etc etc
There are countless explanations that could lead to this attack being absolutely unrighteous, and unless there is some more information about the backgrounds, celebrating this death is just irrational hate and tribalism.
Go get back to standing on the fence
Get a load of doctor big brain over here
Hitler celebrated the death of leftists and leftists celebrate the death of Hitler.
Reading the comments here feels like a superhero movie where the protagonist kills one million bad guys and then forgives the final villain because violence is bad.
