A young nationalist activist dies after being beaten in Lyon, sparking political debate

A young man named Quentin Deranque, described as a nationalist or identitarian activist, has died after being severely beaten in Lyon, France. The public prosecutor has opened a homicide investigation and is holding a press conference after gathering what are called significant witness accounts.

The incident occurred on the sidelines of an event featuring Rima Hassan, a pro-Palestinian activist. The attack has led to strong political reactions, with right-wing figures blaming the far-left and using the slogan 'the far-left kills,' while calling for a crackdown on anti-fascist groups.
