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, with Uber saying it had sent prevention messages. In early November, delivery drivers for meal platforms said they were suffering ambushes by far-right militants and set up alert networks. Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou said he was "very shocked" by death threats circulated online and announced he would bring the platforms together. Three Black men, Pengo Bossio Wangi, José Capela and Mauricio K., were killed within 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 coverage of the threats.
