The 22-year-old set fire to himself in front of a university restaurant in Lyon.

The man posted on Facebook about his financial difficulties just hours before self-immolating in front of a university restaurant in Lyon.

He blamed President Emmanuel Macron, two of his predecessors, the far-right leader Marine Le Pen and the European Union for having “killed him”.

The man, who was studying at Lyon 2 University, wrote on Facebook that he no longer had the strength to face the financial burden of living on €450 (£388) a month.

“Let us fight against the rise of fascism, which only divides us and liberalism that creates inequalities,” he wrote.
