The French President, Emmanuel Macron, received the impact of an egg when taking a mass bath during the International Exhibition of Restoration and Tourism in Lyon, by an individual who shouted “Long live the revolution.”
The egg, which did not break, hit the president on the shoulder, who was immediately protected by the bodyguards, and who at the same time asked to speak to the aggressor.
“If you have something to say to me, come“, he pointed Macron, who assured that he would come to see him later. The forces of order took away the man, a young man for now unidentified.
Until then, the head of state had had a rather placid visit to this room, where the country’s restaurateurs thanked him for his help during the worst months of the pandemic.
Macron announced that tips paid by credit card, one of the demands of workers in the sector, will be tax-exempt.
