France: Student Dies After Attack at Lyon Political Protest
The Spin
Right narrative
Far-left militants brutally murdered a peaceful Catholic student who was simply protecting young women at a demonstration, with at least six masked attackers kicking him in the head while he lay defenseless on the ground. France Unbowed bears direct responsibility for cultivating this climate of unbridled violence through inflammatory rhetoric and maintaining ties to dissolved militant groups like La Jeune Garde. Words kill, and the hard left's refusal to condemn their own extremists has now resulted in the murder of an innocent young man with no criminal record.
Left narrative
A far-right activist died following violent clashes between rival political groups near Sciences Po Lyon, with prosecutors still investigating the precise sequence of events. The circumstances of this tragedy are still unclear, and the victim was part of a hard-right collective known for staging provocative protests. It must be noted that the right wing is cynically exploiting this tragedy to attack the left ahead of elections, adding tension to an already-volatile situation. A full, neutral investigation needs to take place.
