Marseille: the car with the effigy of Marine Le Pen stoned, the driver injured
Activists from Bouches-du-Rhône are missing from the meeting of Marine Le Pen, this Saturday in Reims (Marne). Indeed, according to officials of the far-right party, a car bearing the image of the one who is a presidential candidate for the third consecutive time, was attacked as he left Marseilles this Friday evening.
According to images posted on social networks, a small group of young people can be seen attacking the vehicle, stuck in traffic jams at the Prado. Under a flood of insults, the car which transports militants is then, visibly, target of projectiles. “Marseille antifas” or “Marine get out, you are not welcome here”, can we read or hear on amateur images posted on social networks.
We can also see the window of the front door of the car with the logo “Marine Presidente” which has completely shattered, as well as another, further back, which breaks after having received a projectile, perhaps a stone. According to a party official, interviewed by TF1about thirty individuals would have had the car, a scooter for some, in order to degrade it.
“Trump” cars to campaign everywhere in France
In the end, several windows of the car with the effigy of Marine Le Pen would have been broken. The driver was reportedly injured in the hand and knee. The event lasted about ten minutes before the arrival of the police, according to France Blue. This Saturday noon, the acting president of the party, Jordan Bardella, confirmed on Twitter that “the RN activists from Bouches-du-Rhône were attacked in Marseille. The driver was injured.”
About twenty vehicles, of all sizes, imagined as mobile offices, have been rented by the Frontist party to criss-cross the roads of France. “It will be buses à la Donald Trump”, explained, to France Infoa leader of the National Rally.
The activists who will scour nearly 5,000 markets in all regions will have the mission of encouraging supporters of Jean-Marie Le Pen’s daughter to vote and help them, for example, to make their proxies online. The goal is to fight against the abstention which failed on the arrival at the Elysée of the deputy RN.
