The French government disbanded various far-right groups that were not "neonazis trained in handling weapons" (last in date was the Identitaires).

The far-left is the first one to call on the government and the police to ban conferences, ban books, ban groups which don't even do the tenth of what they do, but when they are the ones targeted by the government then all of a sudden they whine and want THEIR civil liberties defended. Clowns. :o)

> the YPG is seen by the french state as a terrorist group
To appease the Turks I assume?
In part, because the YPG is seen by the french state as a terrorist group, for various political reasons, and also because having leftists trained in handling weapons is seemingly more terrifying to the government than having neonazis trained in handling weapons. Make of that what you will.
