Macron calls for calm after death of a young ultranationalist in a clash in Lyon

President Emmanuel Macron has urged calm from all political forces and the public after the death on Saturday of a young French ultranationalist in what prosecutors are investigating as a possible aggravated homicide following a clash with an alleged antifascist group. Quentin D., 23, was found unconscious Thursday night on the banks of the Saône in Vieux-Lyon and died last Saturday afternoon in hospital. An initial version of the incident circulated on social media by Alice Cordier, president of the far-right feminist group Nemesis, described Quentin D. as a member of a security detail accompanying a protest against La France Insoumise deputy Rima Hassan. The incident was condemned and condolences offered to the family. The family's lawyers say the young man had not been hired by any group.

Quelqu'un peut nous expliquer pourquoi le meurtre raciste d'Ismael Aali, 20 ans, retrouvé dans un étang près de Lyon en janvier n'a déclenché aucun emballement médiatique contrairement à celui de Quentin ? Y aurait-il un lien avec le prénom et l'origine de la victime ?
