After François de Rugy, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The day after François de Rugis floured on Friday in Nantes, Jean-Luc Mélenchon experienced the same mishap this Saturday afternoon in Paris.
While awaiting the start of the March of Freedoms facing the extreme right from the Place de Clichy (18th arrondissement), the leader of rebellious France was therefore also "cleared".
"It's all going well, I only took flour", first relativized the 2022 presidential candidate, before all the same to denounce "a context of violence in politics".
Obviously referring to the slap received at the beginning of the week by the President of the Republic during a trip to the Drôme, Jean-Luc Mélenchon continued: "I have every reason to be angry with Mr. Macron, but we cannot tolerate violence ”.

Speaking in front of several journalists within the procession, the leader LFI then estimated that "a threshold had been crossed" and that it was necessary from now on that "it stops".
According to BFMTV, the man at the origin of this flouring, who wanted to express his dissatisfaction with "the politicians", was checked by police before being able to leave free.
Friday, François de Rugy, LREM candidate in the regional elections in Pays de la Loire, was installed near a terrace with running mates in Nantes when a woman floured him.
She was arrested just after the facts and the former Minister of Ecology announced this Saturday that he was filing a complaint.
