A fascist group based in the French city of Lyon, and one of the most active French fascist groups, promotes its views and activities on social media, mainly Instagram and Telegram.
On March 8, the group is organizing a “Forum of Social Justice,” to which neo-Nazi, white supremacist, fascist and identitarian groups from across France are invited to take part to meet, promote themselves and raise funds through the selling of materials. Each group will presumably be granted a booth where they can deliver propaganda materials, including flyers, T-shirts, booklets, stickers and flags, as is the custom at such happenings.
On February 28, the group shared a graphic advertising the event, which scheduled to begin at 11:00 in the Lyon region. The graphic displays the emblems of 14 extremist French groups from across France.
