Since last Thursday, echoes of the killing of a young man named “Cantin,” a 23-year-old nationalist activist, have been reverberating in France currently. He died of his wounds after being beaten by a group of masked young men suspected of belonging to the anti-fascist radical left, whom the Minister of Justice described as being from the “extreme left.” Pending the results of the official investigations, this incident came as an indication of the extent of political polarization that France is witnessing before a decisive electoral season, and a month before the municipal elections. For the details of this and the political implications in the French scene, here is this news presentation.
