The prosecutor mentioned nothing concerning the group of attackers, which the federal government as a substitute brazenly known as “La Jeune Garde”, a gaggle from the antifa galaxy, based in Lyon in 2018 and dissolved by authority final June. The far-left “collective” beneath accusation was created by Raphaël Arnault, now a deputy of La France Insoumise, who expressed “horror and disgust” on Saturday on X following the loss of life of the far-right younger man.
