The killing of a young activist in France - cast by some as the country's "Charlie Kirk moment" - has galvanised Europe's far right, sparking coordinated rallies across the continent that highlight how local groups are building cross-border networks.

Quentin Deranque, ​a 23-year-old far-right activist, died after being beaten during a fight with far-left activists in Lyon on February 14, drawing comparisons with last year's shooting of the U.S. conservative activist Kirk

Charlie Kirk was not shot by a leftist.

It is dangerous to let the narrative fade into that assumption.

The article does not say that.

No, but it is problematic to compare Quentin to Charlie as it implicitly suggests it was a leftist who killed Charlie Kirk, a narrative rightwing people are desperate to believe even though the reality doesn't fit it.

"Drawing comparisons" between two events is not problematic, it's what happened.

Charlie Kirk was not shot by a leftwing person.

Again, no one *here is saying he was.
