He wanted to see Vesoul and he saw Vesoul… Like last year, Jordan Bardella took advantage of the Sainte-Catherine fair, in the prefecture of Haute-Saône, to pamper himself with a public bath accompanied, this time, by a signing session after the walk. Selfies with line-ups, discussions with farm workers’ unions, tastings of local produce, all accompanied by the screams of excited teenagers and adoring fans. “Save us !” : the usual procedure in this Grand-Est department where MEPs received more than 45% of the vote in the last European elections.
Until a teenager took advantage of the crowd by throwing a bag of flour at Bardella’s head which had been covered with cream. Panic: the naughty boy was exfiltrated manu militari by the Department of Security Protection (DPS) – the RN’s security service – who pinned him to a white van before police handcuffed him. According to Eastern Republicansit’s about a student from Edouard-Belin secondary school in Vesoul, filmed by a friend. Once he was arrested, he was taken to the police station. Bardella, for his part, rushed to the tent of the Rural Coordination agricultural union and stayed there for a long time.

Bardella’s staff attempted to contain his militia spirit while preventing the press from doing its job. Complicated task.
The potential presidential candidate from the far-right party left by car not far away, heading for the Hôtel du Nord where his signing session would be held. And making his fans wait for an hour, frozen with cold and happy like child characters, in the occasional November rain, time to change and respond to the journalists. OWN Eastern RepublicBardella put a “not an event”. When the tension subsided, a DPS agent laughed: “Last year we had eggs, this year flour: I hope next year we have milk so we can make pancakes !”
