European Parliament President Roberta Metsola faced criticism from far-right groups who accused her of breaking a promise to hold a minute of silence for French activist Quentin Deranque, 23, who died from head injuries sustained in a February altercation. Metsola said Deranque's family had requested she not politicize his death, and she delivered a speech condemning political violence instead.
