Far-right group militants go on trial for Macron assassination plot

A dozen people with links to a French far-right group go on trial Tuesday, accused of plotting to assassinate President Emmanuel Macron and commit a string of other attacks.

 

Prosecutors say the 13 members of the group, Les Barjols, conspired to engineer a putsch, which involved a plan for an attack on Macron during a public appearance in 2018.

Citing evidence collected online, from telephone conversations and meetings, they say the suspects also planned to kill migrants, and attack mosques.

It appears that is will be the decade of domestic terrorism. I guess the far right are missing their Islamic counterparts to deflect attention from themselves after what seems to be at least a temporarily successful campaign to neutralise them.
