In the city center of Rouen, in Seine-Maritime, around ten men violently attacked an individual, who was beaten and thrown to the ground. This scene was filmed on Saturday October 24, late in the afternoon, on the sidelines of the demonstration, in front of stunned witnesses.
In Clermont-Ferrand, other individuals were reported and notably made Nazi salutes on the terrace of a café. Tensions were also particularly intense in Nice, where eleven ultra-right activists were arrested.
Faced with criticism, the Interior Ministry refutes any inaction. The police generally intervened, either to disperse these groups or to avoid clashes between the antagonistic groups.
These incidents highlight the action of these groups in public spaces during rallies, with legal and security repercussions in several cities.
A judicial investigation was opened following the tensions observed in Nice.
