- A 34-year-old man was arrested over the Limoges town hall fire.
- Authorities suspect organised ultra-left groups are behind wider unrest.
- The article points to remote rural areas as potential organising bases.

## Summary

French officers arrested Hodei Ciarra Docampo, 34, in a remote hamlet in Limousin, suspecting him of leading the far-left group that set fire to Limoges town hall. The article presents the arrest as part of wider fears that organised ultra-left groups are seeking to destabilise the French Republic, amid unrest across the country.

The town hall burned on 17 October, after an attack the article says had been planned weeks earlier. Docampo was convicted last year of punching a police officer during a demonstration; officers found him in a garden hut after he was absent from the house he shares with his parents. The article says intelligence officials have also focused on neo-ruralist Marxists around the Plateau de Millevaches, though the supplied text ends before giving further details.
