After several weeks of silence, MP and co-founder of the Young Guard Raphaël Arnault speaks. For more than an hour, through questions from Soumaya Benaissa, he speaks exclusively to Blast. What happened in Lyon, of course, this brawl which led to the death of neofascist activist Quentin Deranque. And then the instrumentalization that followed, in the media and political spaces, where the executive and the extreme right advanced jointly. An offensive carried out against the left, against anti-fascism, in an inversion of reality pushed to the climax. Saturation with many things left unsaid: the history of the rise of fascism, political violence, the inaction of public authorities.
