French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for her comments on the fatal beating of far-right activist Quentin Deranque in Lyon. Deranque died from injuries sustained during an attack linked to left-wing extremists. Meloni condemned the violence, which she described as a wound for Europe, while Macron suggested nationalists should focus on their own countries. The incident has political implications, affecting the far-right National Rally and the left-wing France Unbowed party ahead of upcoming elections.
