Following the death of far-right activist Quentin Deranque in Lyon nearly ten days ago, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Saturday, February 21, 2026, that a meeting would be convened early next week. This gathering, involving the Prime Minister and relevant ministers, aims to comprehensively assess the threat posed by "all violent action groups." Macron, speaking upon his arrival at the Salon de l'Agriculture, also urged calm regarding a planned tribute demonstration for Deranque in Lyon, emphasizing that the event should be a moment of "recollection and respect." He stated that the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior would be vigilant to ensure the proceedings are conducted appropriately.
