What was the motive?

The story doesn't specify the suspect's motive, but Macron's description of a 'racist terror attack' suggests a hate-filled ideology. This could stem from far-right extremism, anti-immigrant sentiment, or other forms of bigotry. Understanding the motive is crucial for authorities to identify potential wider networks and prevent future similar incidents.
