US EditionFrance will summon US Ambassador Charles Kushner over US comments on activist’s death
France protests U.S. embassy's remarks blaming left-wing militants for far-right activist's death and will raise concerns over recent U.S. sanctions on French officials, Foreign Minister Barrot said.
- Jean-Noël Barrot announced on Sunday he will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner to protest embassy comments, saying, `We are going to summon the United States ambassador to France, since the US embassy in France commented on this tragedy... which concerns the national community.`
- After posts on X by the US State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism, the US Embassy in France said it was monitoring reports linking Quentin Deranque's death to left-wing militants and warned of rising 'violent radical leftism'.
- Quentin Deranque died last week after being beaten in Lyon; seven people face charges, with six men suspected on all counts and a parliamentary assistant charged with complicity.
- The episode has spilled into diplomacy, with around 3,000 marching in Lyon as Emmanuel Macron urged calm, while Barrot plans to raise US sanctions on Thierry Breton and Nicolas Guillou as "unjustified and unjustifiable".
- The killing has broader political implications as it surfaced ahead of next year's presidential vote, with municipal elections next month prompting right-wing parties to attack La France Insoumise and Jordan Bardella calling for a common front.
