The CGT (General Confederation of Labour) and EELV (Europe Ecology – The Greens) in Lyon have become the recipients of threatening emails that allegedly reveal a desire to detonate explosives at their offices. These emails were discovered earlier in the week, but had been sent over the weekend to multiple municipal email accounts in Lyon. The threatening messages contain explicit references to Quentin Deranque, asserting that the sender seeks revenge for Deranque's death.

The language used in the emails is aggressive and filled with racial slurs, calling for violence against perceived political opponents and minorities. The emails conveyed intentions to carry out violent acts at a specified time, with one particularly alarming message stating, "I will blow you all up at 4 p.m., and you will all die." The threat emphasizes that those targeted would pay dearly for what the sender claims is the murder of Quentin Deranque, indicating a potentially dangerous escalation in political rhetoric in the region.

This incident not only highlights the rising trend of political violence and intimidation in France but also raises significant concerns about the safety of political organizations and civil society groups. The timing of these threats, in light of the increasing tensions surrounding local and national political matters, suggests that such matters may incite further unrest. Authorities are likely to take these threats seriously, especially given their explicit nature and provocative content, emphasizing the ongoing challenges faced by civic institutions in maintaining a safe environment for discourse.
