The 23-year-old French man had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at an event in Lyon. 'Hatred that kills has no place in our country,' the French president said on Saturday.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.

The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.

He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.

        “I have annoyed this person with performative politeness and bad faith arguing in support of those who espouse inherently violent rhetoric to the point they told me to fuck off, repeatedly. Now I get to act smug because they don’t maintain an arbitrary decorum.”

        Gods you’re a fucking child.

          You’re just talking with yourself at this point.

          If you don’t think you need help, then that’s why you need help.

          I’m genuinely concerned for your well-being, because this isn’t healthy.
