Key Points

The annual demonstration of the "Comité du 9 mai," a far-right collective, has been banned by the Paris police prefecture.

The demonstration, held every year since 1994, commemorates the death of Sébastien Deyzieu, a far-right activist.

The "Comité du 9 mai"

This informal group is composed of multiple far-right movements.

It originated from various right-wing parties and movements that gathered on May 9, 1994, two days after Deyzieu's death.

The group is largely an offshoot of the Groupe union défense (GUD), a far-right organization founded in 1968.
