France's government accused the hard left of being partly responsible for the death of a far-right activist last week, after the killing inflamed political tension ahead of March local elections.⁣
⁣
Quentin Deranque, 23, died of his wounds after being attacked Thursday on the sidelines of a far-right protest against a left-wing politician speaking at a university in the southeastern city of Lyon.⁣
⁣
Supporters said Deranque had been providing security at a protest against an appearance by Rima Hassan, an MEP for hard-left party France Unbowed (LFI), when he was assaulted by a gang of rival activists.⁣
⁣
Deranque was hospitalized after the attack and placed into a coma, but prosecutors on Saturday said he had died of his wounds. An investigation has been opened into suspected aggravated manslaughter.⁣
⁣
The incident has fueled tension between France's far right and hard left ahead of municipal elections in March and the 2027 presidential race.⁣
