Far-Left Antifa Extremists Set French Post Office Vans Ablaze
An Antifa anarchist website has taken credit for the destruction of two vehicles belonging to the French post office, as far-left violence continues during the Wuhan coronavirus lockdown.
The two vehicles were set on fire and destroyed in the commune of Bouguenais near Nantes at around 1 am on Saturday while they were parked outside a local mail sorting centre.
According to the broadcaster, the group quoted Russian anarchist philosopher Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin, a leading figure in anarchist thought and one of the founders of anarcho-socialism.
Conservative newspaper
Valeurs Actuelles published an excerpt of the post which claimed La Poste collaborates with the French state to help expel illegal migrants, “pressures and threatens” its employees to work during the coronavirus pandemic, and criticised La Banque Postale, a banking subsidiary of La Poste.
The violence comes just days after French police
arrested two Antifa anarchist extremists who they say were both armed and were plotting to kill police officers.
In neighbouring Germany, Antifa extremists are also thought to have been behind the brutal beating of a camera crew belong to the satirical television programme
Heute Show (
Today Show) on International Workers’ Day in the German capital of Berlin.
The attack saw a group of around 20 to 25 far-left extremists
brutally beat the camera crew, sending six of them to the hospital with comedian Abdelkarim being the only member of the group not requiring hospitalisation.
