Overview
- During Lyon’s Fête des Lumières on December 6, anti-police and anti–far-right messages were projected onto the Musée des Beaux-Arts, including “La police blesse et tue” and “On dégage le RN.”
- The local branch of Les Soulèvements de la Terre claimed responsibility, framing the action as opposition to an “État policier” and the far right.
- The Rhône prefecture referred the case to the judiciary under article 40, with no arrests reported as authorities work to identify the perpetrators.
- Investigators are examining video footage and technical leads to determine the projection point, considering rooftops or nearby apartments around Place des Terreaux.
- Officials across the spectrum condemned the stunt, including Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, while hundreds of police, gendarmes, municipal officers and security agents continue securing the multi-day event.
