ALBAWABA - French authorities have evacuated the headquarters of the country's hard-left party after a bomb threat, AFP reported Wednesday.
"The national headquarters of LFI have just been evacuated following a bomb threat. Police services are on site. All employees and activists are safe," the party's coordinator, Manuel Bompard, wrote on X.
The office of France Unbowed, also known as La France Insoumise, in the capital, Paris, was evacuated after a bomb threat.
The party was accused of partial responsibility in the killing of a far-right activist, Quentin Deranque, 23, who passed away after sustaining a severe brain injury.
Deranque was attacked by at least six people on the sidelines of a far-right protest against a left-wing politician speaking at a university in Lyon. The Guardian reported that at least 11 people with links to his death were arrested by the French police.
An assistant to Raphaël Arnault, a member of parliament from France Unbowed (LFI) party, was among the people arrested with links to the crime, Lyon prosecutor Thierry Dran announced.
La France Insoumise is a left-wing political party in France. It was launched in 2016 by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who was back then a Member of the European Parliament and former co-president of the Left Party.
