During a speech at a fire brigade festival, two eggs suddenly flew in the direction of Prime Minister Dr.

Markus Soder.

Security stepped in.

Taching am See - It should be a routine appearance by the Bavarian Prime Minister Dr.

Become Markus Söder: The 55-year-old gave a speech at a fire brigade festival in Taching am See, in the east of Bavaria and close to the border with Austria.

But there was a scandal that will probably not soon be forgotten in the Upper Bavarian community in the Traunstein district.

Eggs thrown at Söder: Protection by umbrella

On Thursday, June 23, Prime Minister Söder appeared at a fire brigade festival in the Tengling district.

About 1500 people were present in the marquee.

According to a police spokesman, there were already "expressions of displeasure" from a table during Söder's speech.

Then suddenly two eggs flew in the direction of Söder.

However, according to the police press release, these missed the CSU leader.

The security service immediately intervened: Söder was protected from possible further flying objects with transparent umbrellas, two other security employees referred two people out of the tent.
