France in shock accuses Mélenchon: 'You are like terrorists'

France is reeling from the tragic murder of Quentin, a student killed by anti-fascist groups during a peaceful demonstration, prompting national protests for justice.

France is currently in a state of shock following the brutal murder of Quentin, a student who was killed by anti-fascist groups at a peaceful sit-in organized by the feminist collective Nemesis last Thursday. In response to his death, vigils and demonstrations have erupted across the country, from Paris to Besançon, Montpellier, and Aix-en-Provence, all united under the chant for justice. A significant march is planned in Lyon next Saturday to commemorate Quentin's memory.

The Paris demonstration, which was organized around the singular message of "Justice for Quentin," saw a large turnout of young people alongside notable political figures such as Éric Zemmour and Marion Maréchal. Protesters displayed banners reading "Antifa Murderers, justice for Quentin" and carried signs labeling the young victim's group as "Terrorist Young Guard." The tension escalated as attendees shouted accusations at members of La France Insoumise, the political party led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, directly implicating them in the violence that led to Quentin's death.

In Lyon, the atmosphere is charged with a sense of unease and anger among the citizens, as the community grapples with the implications of this tragic event. The accusations leveled against Mélenchon and his party highlight a deepening political divide in France, exacerbating existing tensions between different ideological factions. As demonstrations continue, the call for justice for Quentin not only resonates personally for his family and friends but also poses significant questions about the state of political discourse and the increasing prevalence of violence related to ideological clashes in the country.
