  "textContent": "\n\n\nEmmanuel Macron has said Giorgia Meloni should \"stay in her lane\" after she mourned the death of a right-wing student who was beaten to death in France.\n\nQuentin Deranque, 23. died from head injuries after he was beaten by a group of masked men in Lyon just days ago.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMurder charges are now being pursued against seven suspects, including one French parliamentary assistant who worked for the hard-left party France Unbowed (LFI) and one former intern.\n\nEleven suspects were detained in response to the attack, with many linked to hard-left movements including the \"anti-fascist\" group Young Guard.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMs Meloni said the killing was \"a wound for all of Europe\" and said \"groups linked to left-wing extremism\" were responsible for his death.\n\nShe too has faced hard-left turmoil in the last few days in her own country.\n\n\"Let everyone stay in their own lane,\" Mr Macron told reporters during a visit to India.\n\nThe French President sneered: \"I'm always struck by how people who are nationalists, who don't want to be bothered in their own country, are always the first ones to comment on what's happening in other countries.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHe clarified the remarks were directed towards the Italian Prime Minister directly.\n\nMs Meloni's office voiced her astonishment at his response.\n\nThey said she had \"expressed her deep condolences and dismay at the tragic killing of young Quentin Deranque and condemned the climate of ideological hatred that is sweeping through several European countries\".\n\nA source added: \"These statements represent a sign of solidarity with the French people affected by this terrible event and do not in any way interfere in France’s internal affairs.\"\n\n### LATEST FROM FRANCE:\n\n\n\n\n  * Third British skier dies in French avalanche just days after two others lost their lives\n  * Nine arrested after right-wing student beaten to death by masked far-left militant mob in France\n  * Rugby captain killed in avalanche as club left 'devastated' and weekend clash postponed\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe two European leaders have previously clashed over abortion rights and migration, and are soon set to meet in Toulouse to strengthen their relationship.\n\nAntonio Tajani, Italy's Foreign Minister, said the killing was \"a serious matter that concerns us all\".\n\nHe added \"there hae been many Quentins in Italy\" a reference to the chaotic Years of Lead in the late 1960s to the 1980s.\n\nArmed groups from both the left and right carried out bombings and assassinations across Italy during the period.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Tajani said: \"Condemning episodes like the one in Lyon also serves this purpose – to ensure that we do not return to a terrible past in Italy as well.\"\n\nThe killing has fuelled political tensions in France before municipal elections in March - as well as the 2027 presidential race, which Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) is set to win, despite her ban from running.\n\nRaphael Arnault, the lawmaker who two of the suspects had worked for, said one of his aides had \"stopped all parliamentary work\".\n\nJordan Bardella, the leader of the RN and 2027's election frontrunner, called for Mr Arnault's resignation in response.\n\nHe said: \"The left and the far-left have crossed an unacceptable red line in our democracy: respect for the opinions and physical integrity of their opponents.\"\n\nMr Macron had previously called for \"calm, restraint and respect\" in response to the killing.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards:The GB News Editorial Charter **",
