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.

    No, the next step is panko/breadcrumbs.

    And after three strikes, you dunk him in hot oil.

    To be fair I never imagined that "eat the rich" (or in this case, eat the Reich) would turn out Kentucky Fried, but I'm all for it.

    Next is milk, then sugar, then you beat him thoroughly and put him in the oven.

    I can't understand if I should praise aiming skills or if the egg was cracked up close and personal. Tried to check in the article and saw what Bardella made of it:

    The more we make progress, the closer we get to power, the more the violence from the far left, intolerance and pure stupidity are unleashed

    For fuck's sake, he just barely survived an assassination no less

    When they get all melodramatic about flour, eggs, sandwiches being tossed at them, don't they realize how pathetic they sound acting like these acts are in and of themselves just horrible violance?

    Is it a tradition to throw eggs or flour at politicians in France? If so, it is a good tradition.

    I think people have been throwing produce for a long time in general. But there's a list of stuff thrown at politicians on wiki

    I'm partial to the Australian "egg boy" because a ska band wrote a song about it

    I'm appalled at all these people who condone throwing flour and eggs at politicians. Everyone knows that the egg goes first, because it helps the flour stick.

    US prices are laughable right now. With the price of one egg you could buy a dozen in France.

    Bricks create martyrs and increase the vote share of the party. Ridicule doesn't particularly help, but doesn't hurt either.
