France Tackles Extremism in Municipal Elections

3,200 people marched in Lyon under heavy security for Quentin Deranque, 23.
Deranque, a far-right activist, died from head injuries in clashes between radical left and far-right groups.
French authorities used drones and police to manage the event.
Ultra-right groups promoted the march online, while residents barricaded windows.
French President Macron urged calm and plans to meet ministers on violent activist groups.
France holds municipal elections next month, with right-wing forces criticizing France Unbowed.
U.S. State Department official Sarah Rogers called the killing 'terrorism'.
