Like other candidates in the past, Éric Zemmour was targeted by an egg that a man slammed on his head when he arrived in Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne), this Saturday morning.

"We see which side is the violence, there are people who do not support the democratic debate", reacted the ex-polemicist after being welcomed at the town hall by the elected RN Romain Lopez.

The author, an elderly man, was immediately subdued by security and then taken away by the gendarmes.

He would have told them "to have done so because his son is disabled", referring to the controversial remarks of Éric Zemmour on disabled children last January.

Meeting at 3 p.m.

Éric Zemmour was accompanied by Marion Maréchal, Marine Le Pen's niece, who joined him last Sunday.

Romain Lopez is also the former parliamentary attaché of Marion Maréchal.

Moissac is "a laboratory of what we are going to do at the national level", congratulated Éric Zemmour who was then to visit the cloister of Moissac with the mayor, before a meeting with the activists and an exchange in a service station with employees and motorists on the rise in gas prices.

In the afternoon, he must hold a meeting at 3 p.m. in Agen.
