00:00France's political class are already pointing fingers over who is responsible for the death
00:05of far-right activist Quentin Dee.
00:07French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said a banned anti-fascist group was most likely
00:12responsible.
00:14The Young Guard have a large presence in Lyon.
00:17We're talking about a far-left movement, it's clearly far-left.
00:21The links between France en Baud and the Young Guard are very close, there's no denying it.
00:25Just a few days ago, there was a communique from France en Baud calling for the government
00:29to abandon the ongoing dissolution of the Young Guard, following a decision by the Council
00:34of State.
00:37Figures on France's far-right are also pointing the finger at the far-left party.
00:42The French far-left and France en Baud have blood on their hands, I say that carefully.
00:47The incident took place at a far-right protest against an event featuring France en Baud
00:52MP and MEP Rima Hassan.
00:55The Young Guard was founded in 2018 by Raphael Arnaud, who was later elected a France en Baud
01:01MP.
01:02But the party denies accusations its members were involved in the attack.
01:09It all happened away from where Rima and the party's security service were.
01:15We are shocked by what happened and we express our sympathy and compassion for the victim's
01:20family.
01:23The killing has cast a shadow over the municipal election set to take place next month, the
01:28last electoral test before the 2027 presidential election.
