Emmanuel Macron, during his visit to the Salon de l'Agriculture, has called for calm in the wake of the murder of Quentin Deranque, a young nationalist activist, who was fatally beaten by far-left militants. As a gesture of mourning, Macron emphasized the need for collective reflection and respect for the slain individual before the planned march in his honor. He addressed the nation, highlighting the sensitivity of the moment and urging peaceful remembrance.

In his statements, Macron also announced a forthcoming government meeting aimed at thoroughly examining violent action groups that pose threats in France. This discussion is set for next week and is intended to assess the current situation regarding extremist groups tied to various political factions. Macron's remarks indicate a broader concern within the government about escalating violence linked to political ideologies, regardless of their affiliations.

The situation surrounding Deranque's death has polarized the public and reignited debates about political extremism in France. As demonstrations take place, the government faces the challenge of balancing public sentiment and activism with the need for public safety, prompting Macron’s push for a comprehensive evaluation of the violent groups that impact the country's political landscape.
