French President Macron calls for calm after far-right activist Quentin, 23, dies from beating during Lyon protest on Feb. 12.
French President Emmanuel Macron has called for calm after 23-year-old far-right activist Quentin was fatally beaten during a protest in Lyon on February 12, as demonstrators opposed a hard-left politician’s appearance at Sciences Po Lyon.
Quentin died on February 14 from injuries sustained in the attack, which his supporters say was an ambush by masked, organized individuals.
The Lyon prosecutor has opened an investigation into suspected aggravated manslaughter, but details remain scarce.
Macron condemned the violence as unprecedented and stated “hatred that kills has no place in our country.” Far-right figures, including Marine Le Pen, denounced the incident as a “lynching,” while hard-left leaders expressed concern over rising tensions ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
Interior Minister Laurent Nunez has urged increased vigilance at political events and campaign offices.
