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.
