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.

Just need sugar and we gotta cake to let us eat!

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

74 year old badass.

Whoa, the Eat The Rich people are serious.

[-] Uruanna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Gotta make them edible enough first. Need some seasoning.

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.

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 day ago

Milk and sugar next week.

Free Crepes.

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

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

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

The 74 year-old is a hero and remembers what his parents said about the fucking Nazis and Vichy French.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 187 points 2 days ago

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

Quatre quarts. Or "four quarters".

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

And this, is already too much maths for Bardella

I've heard of slow cooking, but this is next level stuff.

Operation dessert storm

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I guess next would be milk.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

I'm sorry but this is fucking hilarious

I'm desperate to know what will be next. Jam? Chocolate spread? Cream?

[-] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 13 points 2 days ago

clearly they are trying to turn him into a cake so next will probably be the butter

[-] maplesaga@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I hope every political argument devolves into food being thrown eventually.

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Pelt him with grapes: not big enough to do much damage, but in the right quantities, it'll get the point across

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The point: "stop wine-ing"?

[-] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 days ago

So just milk and sugar missing and he turns into a cake?

[-] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Some Morton’s and a little milk and we can call it salt and batter-y. Just deserts, i say.

America: throw a whole pre-made sandwich at a cop

France: individually throw every ingredient to make every part of a sandwich from scratch

I really hope they make a Croque Monsieur with this pig.

Someone get him with some butter and sugar and see if he turns into a racist cake

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 days ago

Nope! Sorry. Still just a wet sack of shit.

Flour, egg. It’s time for a pie

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

It’s France so it’s definitely cake

[-] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 31 points 2 days ago

No, they are still missing the butter and sugar.

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Give it time. Its a slow recipe, but I trust the French to follow through if its a protest.

If the next encounter is breadcrumbs, this schnitzel is ready for the fryer.

[-] stormeuh@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

I think you need to beat the pork vigorously first, to tenderize the meat, you know

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago

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

[-] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Marsha P. Johnson method suggests that a brick is more effective at creating change.

Make fascists scared again.

it's time for digested food

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Get some sugar in the mix, and boy... you got yourself a cake going.

[-] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

A crêpe, rather.
