France is seeking to ban ultra-right groups in an effort to quell racial tensions. The government is taking action to address the rise of extremist ideologies and prevent the spread of hate speech. The move comes as part of broader efforts to combat racism and discrimination in the country.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin plans to propose a ban on small ultra-right groups following violent protests sparked by the murder of a 16-year-old schoolboy at a village dance in Crépol. Nine suspects have been placed under formal investigation, but extreme-right activists have exploited the incident. While the circumstances surrounding the killing remain unclear, far-right politicians have alleged a racial motive. Authorities have already sentenced six individuals in connection with the riots, and Darmanin revealed that 13 far-right terror plots have been foiled since 2017. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne criticized politicians who exploited the murder for their own gain, emphasizing the need for respect for the victim.
