A prominent right-wing media figure was attacked by antifa militants in the Brittany region of France this week, the latest incident in a trend of leftist violence in the country. Multiple right-wing government officials and leaders of the National Rally party, such as Jordan Bardella, have publicly expressed support for Tegner. Tegner is a divisive figure in French politics due to his strident anti-immigration positions and questionable journalistic practices. Their assailant was convicted of group violence in September 2025, being ordered to pay a fine and damages. AdvertisementThe issue of politically motivated group violence reached a boiling point in February of this year when Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old conservative student in the city of Lyon, was beaten to death by a mob of antifa militants.
