Quentin Deranque died last week when he was singled out by an antifa mob and kicked and beaten to death. Although the news was muted by pro-migrant media, his death has caused uproar in France and across Europe.

More than 5,000-10,000 people marched through the French city of Lyon on Saturday. They gathered to honor Quentin Deranque. He was a nationalist activist killed by far-left militants.

Deranque, a 23-year-old mathematics student and member of the identarian group Audace Lyon, died on February 14 from head injuries sustained two days earlier.

He was acting as informal security for protesters from the nationalist women’s group Nemesis.

His death caused an uproar across France. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez described the tragedy as a deliberate homicide and a lynching.

Eleven individuals have been arrested, with some having links to the left-wing collective Jeune Garde. Two of those arrested were parliamentary assistants to Raphael Arnault, an MP from the left-wing La France Insoumise (LFI) party.

The march in tribute to Deranque featured banners reading Justice for Quentin, The far-left kills, Antifa murderers, and Jeune Garde in prison, free the city of Lyon.

Videos on social media show people laying flowers at the spot where the activist was attacked.

The march ended without clashes. According to the authorities, one person threw an egg from a building. Another individual was detained for carrying a knife and a hammer.

The event saw brief verbal altercations between anti-fascist groups on the fringes and protesters. Order was maintained by a police cordon.

The authorities reported that several participants made National Socialist (Roman) salutations and chanted anti-migrant and homophobic slurs.

Lyon Mayor Gregory Doucet had insisted on banning the march. He pledged to work with the authorities. He aims to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. He added that he does not want Lyon to be the capital of the far right.

The Deranque scandal has deepened France’s political divide ahead of local elections in March 2026 and a presidential election next year

Polling suggests that the right-wing National Rally would make significant gains. National Rally President Jordan Bardella urged supporters not to attend the march. He said the party should not be associated with it.
