The investigation into the death of Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old nationalist militant who was beaten to death on February 12th in Lyon, is nearing a critical stage as the guards of 11 suspects conclude on Thursday. These individuals, arrested across multiple departments, are expected to be presented to a judge for potential indictment. Among them, Jacques-Élie Favrot, a parliamentary assistant for LFI (La France Insoumise), has admitted to committing violence but denies involvement in the murder. The victim was attacked by masked individuals on the sidelines of a conference by LFI MEP Rima Hassan, where Deranque was providing security for the identity group Némésis. The political fallout is significant, with the government calling for LFI to exclude those implicated, while LFI accuses the government of interfering. Deranque's parents have appealed for calm and restraint amidst the escalating political debate.
