A Renaissance deputy from Lyon has 3 ultra-right activists convicted of “defamation”. Three activists were fined 4,000 euros for sticking posters on the electoral premises of Thomas Rudigoz, described as a “candidate complicit in Islamization”, in 2020.

The DNA of one of them was found on a poster. “They made and disseminated unacceptable comments which convey messages imbued with hatred,” said prosecutor Marie Brunet at the hearing, held in their absence.
