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.

    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?
