Mort de Quentin D. : quand la vérité rattrape le mensonge
"Antifascists" beating a 23-year old man to death, in margin of a conference by an European deputy - who was not welcomed by the 23-y.o. boy & his group.
French are tired of the European meddling on the country.
Euro zone, Melanchon, Flamby aka François Hollande, the wrongdoings of the left politics - have been identified.
Two times in a row, French voted for Marine Lepen - to see Macron beating her with a huge margin.
So - telling them about "antifascism" and/or "the left" stop meaning anything at all. Those are people who ruined the country.
This episode seems to be another one of an humiliation, for normal people.
Une nouvelle vidéo révélée par Le Canard Enchaîné confirme ce que certains médias indépendants documentaient déjà : la mort de Quentin Deranque s’inscrit dans une embuscade préparée par un groupe d’extrême droite armé, et non dans le récit édulcoré d’une rixe confuse devenue vérité officielle. Les images montrent des militants néo-nazis postés en amont d’un meeting de gauche, dissimulés, équipés de barres de fer, de casques, de gazeuse et d’engins incendiaires. Ils attendent. Ils frappent. Ils attaquent en surnombre un groupe surpris, sans protection.
Les nouvelles images révélées par Le Canard Enchaîné dissipent définitivement le brouillard entretenu depuis plusieurs jours. Elles montrent un groupe identitaire lourdement équipé, venu non pas manifester ou « protéger » qui que ce soit, mais chercher l’affrontement. Armes improvisées, protections, organisation : tout indique une confrontation préméditée. Quentin D. faisait partie de ce groupe. Il est mort à l’issue d’une violence qu’ils avaient eux-mêmes provoquée.
Cette réalité contredit frontalement la mise en scène de la victimisation relayée au plus haut niveau. Pire encore : on découvre que TF1 disposait d’éléments permettant de comprendre la nature réelle des faits, et a sciemment choisi de ne diffuser que les images les plus trompeuses. Il ne s’agissait pas d’un individu isolé agressé gratuitement, mais d’un guet-apens fasciste qui a mal tourné. Et ce détail change tout.
Rappeler ces faits n’a rien d’une relativisation de la mort. C’est au contraire refuser une récupération politique indécente, qui érige en martyr un militant engagé dans des violences organisées, tout en passant sous silence les nombreuses victimes anonymes de l’extrême droite ces dernières années. Une seule mort dans leurs rangs aura suffi à déclencher hommages officiels et émotion nationale, là où les morts causées par ces mouvances restent invisibles, sans nom, sans mémoire.
Cette inversion morale est au cœur du scandale. Les violences fascistes deviennent banales, excusables, tandis que ceux qui leur résistent sont relégués au rang de dommages collatéraux. Quentin n’est pas mort par hasard : il est mort dans un contexte de radicalisation, de rixe préparée, d’adhésion à des groupes violents encouragés par l’indulgence du pouvoir.
Les faits sont là, jusque dans les témoignages de ses proches : il est reparti de l’affrontement en défiant déjà la prochaine bagarre, et a refusé les soins qui auraient pu lui sauver la vie. La conclusion est brutale mais nécessaire : participer volontairement à des violences politiques comporte des risques mortels. En faire aujourd’hui un symbole héroïque n’est pas seulement une falsification de la réalité, c’est un signal dangereux envoyé à ceux qui, demain, pourraient être tentés de suivre le même chemin.
La vérité n’effacera jamais une mort, ni la douleur de celles et ceux qui restent. Mais peut-être peut-elle empêcher que d’autres vies soient englouties par la haine, la radicalisation et le mensonge. Face à la violence qui tue des deux côtés, il ne reste qu’un choix digne : rompre le cycle, protéger la vie, et reconstruire la paix là où certains prospèrent sur le chaos.
Translation (DeepL):
A new video revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné confirms what some independent media outlets had already documented: Quentin Deranque's death was the result of an ambush prepared by an armed far-right group, and not the watered-down account of a confused brawl that became the official version of events. The images show neo-Nazi militants positioned ahead of a left-wing rally, concealed and equipped with iron bars, helmets, gas canisters and incendiary devices. They wait. They strike. They attack a surprised, unprotected group with overwhelming numbers.
The new images revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné definitively dispel the fog that has been maintained for several days. They show a heavily equipped identitarian group that came not to demonstrate or ‘protect’ anyone, but to seek confrontation. Improvised weapons, protective gear, organisation: everything points to a premeditated confrontation. Quentin D. was part of this group. He died as a result of violence that they themselves had provoked.
This reality directly contradicts the portrayal of victimisation relayed at the highest level. Worse still, it has been revealed that TF1 had information that would have allowed it to understand the true nature of the events, but knowingly chose to broadcast only the most misleading images. This was not an isolated individual who was attacked for no reason, but a fascist ambush that went wrong. And that detail changes everything.
Recalling these facts is not relativising anything.
On the contrary, it means rejecting indecent political exploitation, which elevates an activist involved in organised violence to the status of martyr, while ignoring the many anonymous victims of the far right in recent years. A single death in their ranks was enough to trigger official tributes and national emotion, while the deaths caused by these movements remain invisible, nameless and forgotten.
This moral inversion is at the heart of the scandal. Fascist violence becomes commonplace, excusable, while those who resist it are relegated to the status of collateral damage. Quentin did not die by chance: he died in a context of radicalisation, of a planned brawl, of membership in violent groups encouraged by the indulgence of the authorities.
The facts are clear, even in the testimonies of his loved ones: he left the confrontation already challenging the next fight, and refused the treatment that could have saved his life. The conclusion is brutal but necessary: voluntarily participating in political violence carries deadly risks. Turning him into a heroic symbol today is not only a distortion of reality, it is a dangerous signal sent to those who, tomorrow, might be tempted to follow the same path.
The truth will never erase a death, nor the pain of those left behind. But perhaps it can prevent other lives from being engulfed by hatred, radicalisation and lies. In the face of violence that kills on both sides, there is only one dignified choice: to break the cycle, protect life, and rebuild peace where some thrive on chaos.
I did not know about this; Googling the name of the victim features:
L'activiste néofasciste Quentin Deranque, 23 ans, avait été frappé le 12 février par plusieurs personnes après avoir pris part à une opération (...)
La mort de Quentin Deranque, militant d'extrême droite identitaire nationaliste (...)
Translated:
Neo-fascist activist Quentin Deranque, 23, was beaten on 12 February by several people after taking part in an operation (...)
The death of Quentin Deranque, a far-right nationalist activist (...)
"Neofascist" (a propos, what is a neofascist? Does it meet anything real? This term looks like garbage and aimed to trigger emotion)
"Far-right, national, activist"
It is interesting that the people who killed that young guy were "antifascists". Those are people driven by an ideology that is under-the-belt in terms of structure. Let people be leftists if they wish to, but when they reach an extreme polarization, this must be acknowledged. If those people have no room for a basic competition between the right and the left, I am afraid those are not representative of a healthy society - but aiming to suppress sane differences.
We saw this with US Republicans. Today, "MAGA", a term, which, let me remind, means "Make America Great Again" - is used to demonize simple rightists. Those are representative of a very low-tone right-politics fringe, in society. Somehow, going against the term MAGA - equates to go against normal people.
I am scrutinizing if there wouldn't be, here, something around "What you do to others, you do to yourself".
Back to the French story, this guy was lynched by organized gang, aimed to suppress him. Those who did that have no merit at all, since they suppress the voices they don't like. Those "antifascists" think they are better than others - let them start up with the facade they show the world: ideology ("we are anti something", "we are intellectuals") - so let them express views, and enter the ideological battle. There is no room for physical confrontation in here. And those - killed a person. We are far from "a battle of ideas".
Those people just joined the low-level ranks of "physical bully of the classroom".
