Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, was hit on the head with an egg Saturday, just days after another incident in which a protester threw flour at him.
Bardella was at an event in Moissac, southwest France, to promote his latest book when a man broke the egg on his head.
The suspected attacker, a 74-year-old man, was arrested and taken into custody for violence against a public official, prosecutor Montauban Bruno Sauvage told AFP.
A complaint has been filed in Bardella’s name over the incident.
On Tuesday, Bardella was covered in flour during a visit to an agricultural fair at Vesoul, in the east of the country.
Police detained a 17-year-old teenage boy before releasing him the following day, and he will have to attend a course on citizenship.
That’s just wrong! You have to throw the egg first, then the flour, for a good battering.
The next thing could be breadcrumbs
Then comes the deep fry…
I don’t think so. I have seen and reproduced making a little volcano shape from the flour and putting egg and other ingredients inside it. Then you knock the top of the flour into the center and start kneading and as it turns into batter, you add more and more of the flour. Doing this, you can make it without a bowl, directly on a counter and it comes out fine.
