Description
The French government urges calm after the killing of a teenage boy at a village dance party earlier this month sparked violent demonstrations by the far-right. Government Spokesperson Olivier Veran went in person to the village of Crepol in southeastern France where Thomas was killed in a bid to keep a lid on tensions. The death of the 16-year-old, named only as Thomas, has been seized upon by the far-right who have portrayed the killing as symbolic of increasingly insecure conditions in French society. SOUNDBITE
