Since 12 February 2026, after a clash in Lyon between a group of antifa and a group of fascists that resulted in the death of one of the latter, France has taken a sordid turn in a campaign of demonization and criminalization of La France Insoumise (LFI), the left wing party led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, which is directly accused of being politically responsible for the death of this person. This campaign is highly structured, carried out on several levels by the far right Rassemblement (…)

On 12 February 2026, in the French city of Lyon, a violent confrontation occurred between a group of anti-fascists (ex-members of La Jeune Garde [The Young Guard] which had been banned) and a group of fascists. It resulted in the death of one of the latter, Quentin Deranque. This tragic event has major political consequences in France that are likely to be long-lasting. It could be a turning point. The party La France insoumise (LFI), the radical left, all anti-fascists, and anti-fascism (…)

À l'aube des élections municipales, les déclarations de principes ne suffiront pas pour faire barrage à l'extrême droite : il faut des réponses concrètes face aux urgences qui fracturent le pays, appelle un collectif de personnalités. Le danger de l'extrême droite n'a jamais été aussi présent. Son projet ne se cache plus : remettre en cause les équilibres démocratiques, fragiliser les droits fondamentaux et imposer une vision autoritaire de la société. Partout où elle gouverne, le même (…)

180 personnalités, dont Annie Ernaux, Johann Chapoutot et Edouard Louis, dénoncent l'instrumentalisation de la mort de Quentin Deranque par l'extrême droite, la droite, le gouvernement et les médias dominants qui cherchent ainsi à instaurer une chape de plomb sur la gauche et à inverser les rôles entre fascistes et antifascistes. Nous vivons des temps dangereux, où le camp du suprémacisme, de l'extrême droite et du néofascisme se trouve en position de force partout dans le monde. La (…)
