France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said far-left extremists may have been behind an attack on the long-distance train network ahead of the opening of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. An arrest has now been made.
Authorities in France on Monday arrested a far-left extremist after a major attack against the rail network that disrupted high-speed trains over the weekend.
The newspaper Le Figaro said the activist was arrested at a "railway site" in Oissel on Sunday. The suspect allegedly had access keys to SNCF technical premises, tools and far-left literature, the AFP news agency reported, citing police sources.
Separately, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the saboteurs' methods bore the hallmarks of far-left extremists.
What so like the guy was casually sabotaging while carrying a copy of Das kapital? This doesn't make any sense
He had the book « Le vertige de l'émeute: de la Zad aux Gilets jaunes » (The Vertigo of the Riot: From the ZAD to the Yellow Vests) in his car according to some French article.
Wait what? You don't carry your copy on your person at all times? Filthy counterrevolutionary!
Or more likely - they're using this as an excuse to surveil and arrest leftists
In... France? Have you ever been to France? The cops just need to wait for the next riot, no false flags necessary
Pourquoi pas les deux
I'm not saying it's a false flag. Just that any occasion is a good occasion to crack down on leftists.
You are getting downvoted because it sound to absurd for France. I would have have downvoted you few years ago but unfortunately this is really what is happening right now.
In this case the dangerous far-left extremist they arrested was just a guy who was planning a graffiti. The "far left literature" was a sociology manual because he is a student.
In the mean time the French police also arrested 45 XR militant, they all been release now because they have nothing against them except for one of the activist who will be judge for the dangerous act of ... Refusing to give the pin to unlock his phone.
No surprises there for me, I guess most Lemmings don't understand the real role of police in society. It's to silence dissent against the state.
I'm not blaming lemmings, I was there too not to long ago.
Fuck dem trains - man with book
