Members of France's ultra-right blamed the death of a teenage boy on anti-French sentiment and gathered in a small town to avenge his death.
Although the regional prosecutor stated that the fight was not a premeditated attack based on race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion, the ultra-right groups saw it as a call to arms.
The protest organized by the ultra-right in the mainly immigrant neighborhood took less than a week to organize and involved participants from different cities in France.
