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.

Flour, egg. It’s time for a pie
If he was Italian, pasta
No, they are still missing the butter and sugar.
Give it time. Its a slow recipe, but I trust the French to follow through if its a protest.
dont forget the salt.
It’s France so it’s definitely cake
Theres a pain joke in there somewhere
Prediction
Brioche?
Last time someone in France let them eat cake, it didn’t go too well for them.
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.
You get pie in the sky when you die.
Complete the brunch with bacon and sausages.
Let them eat cake
Just like everybody else, I was looking for a cake joke but you nailed it.
" Let them eat cake " ❌
“Make them into cake” ✅
I never knew Eat The Rich is preceded by a flavouring stage. Great addition!
Any Aussies out there remember egg boy?
What a legend.
Also thinking about Bush and the Iraqi shoe
I’ve heard rumors that bricks work better than eggs
Bricks create martyrs and increase the vote share of the party. Ridicule doesn’t particularly help, but doesn’t hurt either.
Ridicule definitely helps against the far right, they don’t have a real ideology. Make their leader look weak and they’ll quiet down
I would like to think so, but I haven’t seen data to support it.
We should do some A/B testing to confirm your first statement
Well, Charlie Kirk is STILL on the front page of fox news…
what about an OSTRICH egg, they do weigh 5lbs each.
If they keep talking with all their hot air and raise the temp to about 175C … they could bake themselves into a cake
“Pour some sugar on me”
It’s well pasta time….
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.
Escroc Monsieur
I was thinking a Monte Cristo, because the hot oil would be satisfying. But I guess they’re essentially the same thing.
they’re trying to get him breaded lol
Why not throw a bullet
This one’s probably an american.
All those guns and they’re still throwing their projectiles
Not possible, Americans only shoot Nazis they cannot hire. But that one is already on the same payroll so it’s all fine
Next is milk, then sugar, then you beat him thoroughly and put him in the oven.
Custard’s last stand
Add in some stale bread, and then forget all about him for some ‘pain perdu’.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_cake or as French call it, quarte quarts
Quatre quarts. Or “four quarters”.
And this, is already too much maths for Bardella
Guess the next step is to deep fry him.
milk, sugar, butter, and then chocolate chips or chunks. icing, whip cream, fruit chunks.
Bricks are usually more effective.
They’re on a roll!
They’re French, they’re making a soufflé
Just the breadcrumbs to go! lmao
Someone get him with some butter and sugar and see if he turns into a racist cake
Nope! Sorry. Still just a wet sack of shit.
Demain du lait et on a de la …… Pâte à crêpes !!! 🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞
What a crepe week.
Only if someone throws some milk at him next.
If the next encounter is breadcrumbs, this schnitzel is ready for the fryer.
I think you need to beat the pork vigorously first, to tenderize the meat, you know
With the price of produce?
US prices are laughable right now. With the price of one egg you could buy a dozen in France.
Not if you let right wingers take over!
Oh, I’d be long dead before right winger dismantle our democracy. Either of old age or for resisting their takeover.
I’m not so sure… We had a shortage on eggs recently (maybe still ongoing). I bought 12 eggs for 3.94€ last week.
Now whisk.
I guess next would be milk.

You can’t eat your cake and have it too
yes, FBI? this guy right here
jokes aside, this is good protesting
Thank you for getting the idiom right. To all of the folks who think you can’t have your cake and eat it too, you most certainly can. You have to “have” it before you can “eat” it. But you most definitely can’t eat your cake and then still have it, which is the meaning of the idiom and the correct way to say it.
You can, through the magic of buying two of them.
*deliciously smooth jazz*
But how would one wash the dish? Surely not with a dishwasher pod?
I’ve never fully understood this phrase because don’t you have a cake by eating it?
“what did you eat last night?” “I had a cake instead of dinner”
Once you eat the cake, you don’t have the cake anymore. “Have” showing possession, not “to eat”.
“I have a cake (in my possession)” as opposed to “I’m having / I had a cake (for a meal)”. Perhaps the less ambiguous phrasing would be “…and keep it too” – the nuance is probably academic at this point – but proverbs tend to be stubborn.
The Marsha P. Johnson method suggests that a brick is more effective at creating change.
Make fascists scared again.
This is the only way
Ok, now tar and feathers.
I’ve heard of slow cooking, but this is next level stuff.
So just milk and sugar missing and he turns into a cake?
Some Morton’s and a little milk and we can call it salt and batter-y. Just deserts, i say.
Well done.
I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious
I’m desperate to know what will be next. Jam? Chocolate spread? Cream?
clearly they are trying to turn him into a cake so next will probably be the butter
I hope every political argument devolves into food being thrown eventually.
Pelt him with grapes: not big enough to do much damage, but in the right quantities, it’ll get the point across
The point: “stop wine-ing”?
Just going down the ingredients list until they toss him in an oven to bake until golden brown.
“Violence”, gotta love the special treatment government gives the rich. Noones getting arrested if you reverse the roles
I mean, hitting someone with an object, whether solid or fragile, is violence. Mild violende is still violence. Justified violence is still violence.
It should be up to a court to decide the severity of the assault and whether it warrants punitive action. In a fair and just society at least.
And in a fair and just society, the decision should be a reprimand because judicial encouragement of violence is a bad idea, but no further action.
Make the next one a bullet
Get some sugar in the mix, and boy… you got yourself a cake going.
A crêpe, rather.
Um… wouldn’t it be funny if someone tried doing that with some dogshit next lol
Make him into a baguette
By French law, bread can only contain flour, yeast, salt, and water. Sadly, he must be cake.
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:
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?
Operation dessert storm
The 74 year-old is a hero and remembers what his parents said about the fucking Nazis and Vichy French.
At least he can make pancakes
Waiting for the milk
Milk and sugar next week.
Free Crepes.
Or cake
nods or cake.
74 year old badass.
it’s time for digested food
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
en.wikipedia.org/…/Incidents_of_objects_being_thr…
I’m partial to the Australian “egg boy” because a ska band wrote a song about it

Whoa, the Eat The Rich people are serious.
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.
Just need sugar and we gotta cake to let us eat!
