France will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kusher to protest comments made by the Trump administration over the death of a far-right activist, the foreign affairs minister said on Sunday.
Jean-Noel Barrot was reacting to a statement by the U.S. State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau, which stated that "reports, corroborated by the French Minister of the Interior, that Quentin Deranque was killed by left-wing militants, should concern us all." The State Department said in its post on X that "violent radical leftism is on the rise and its role in Quentin Deranque's death demonstrates the threat it poses to public safety. We will continue to monitor the situation and expect to see the perpetrators of violence brought to justice."
Deranque, a far-right activist, died of brain injuries last week from a beating in the French city of Lyon. He was attacked during a fight on the margins of a student meeting where a far-left lawmaker, Rima Hassan, was a keynote speaker.

Maybe they want to explain why Free Speech is bullshit.
How is Macron even still in power? Oh yeah he imprisoned the opposition.
Are the same organizations who fund our Antifa funding the French Antifa fascists?
Ingrates
F___ Off, France!
My thought too. Stuff it France!
It must be tough to withstand a dressing-down from the French.
These people don’t know what’s about to come down on them. (Well, some of them actually do.)
a far-left lawmaker, Rima Hassan, was a keynote
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dog haters are now making laws in france.
Charles Kusher used to be a major Democratic donor
Used to be?
A revolting untrue description.
Deranque was there to help protect feminists that were there to protest Hassan. He was ganged up on by Antifa. He died with six people stomping him into the ground.
“...the death of a far-right activist...”
He was murdered.
“France will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kusher”
What does that mean?
What made him “far right”? I’ll bet his views were far less extreme than the leftists who killed him.
OOOOOOOOO…….. He’s been “summoned”. …. OOOOOOOO
Ou est l'ambasador d' Amerique ?
“How is Macron even still in power? Oh yeah he imprisoned the opposition.”
That’s because mini-dick Macron knew LePen would win.
The worthless coke snorter thought he was big man when he threw a woman in jail.
Truth is dangerous to authoritrians and to communists and those who wield the weapon of truth must be imprisoned or otherwise neutralized.
