"The sociologist (...) Isabelle Sommier, told French newspaper Le Monde (...) that the number of politically motivated assaults has doubled since 2017, most of them carried out by ultra-right extremists. She said if authorities determine that Deranque was killed by an antifascist group because of his political views, he’d be the first victim of extreme-left violence since the 1980s." https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2026/02/19/isabelle-sommier-sociologue-les-violences-politiques-connaissent-une-augmentation-significative-avec-un-doublement-des-agressions-depuis-dix-ans_6667345_3232.html
