Racist threats and assaults against delivery drivers in France
In late October 2026, an investigation for incitement to racial hatred was opened after calls on social media to assault Black or Arab-origin delivery drivers, Uber indicating it had sent prevention messages. In early November, meal delivery platform drivers say they are falling victim to ambushes by far-right militants and are setting up alert networks. Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou says he is "very shocked" by death threats circulated online and announces he will bring the platforms together. Three Black men, Pengo Bossio Wangi, José Capela and Mauricio K., are killed in five days, their relatives demanding justice as calls to kill delivery drivers circulate. The National Anti-Racism Commission publishes a report denouncing the intensification of the racist offensive and calls for a united response, while a controversy concerns media treatment of the threats.
