Headbutt or fuss, two versions for a single altercation.

Antoine Baudino, parliamentary attaché of ex-RN senator Stéphane Ravier, will be tried for "willful violence" against an activist of the National Rally, on May 9 in Marseille, before the police court, AFP learned from the victim, confirming information from Marsactu.

The facts occurred on February 10 during a public meeting organized by the senator from Bouches-du-Rhône in front of his parliamentary office in Marseille.

He then announced to the 150 activists present that he was withdrawing "from all Parisian authorities" of the far-right party, after a conflict with an adviser to Marine Le Pen.

The senator had formalized his rallying to Eric Zemmour three days later.

"A straight headbutt"

According to Enzo Alias, national and departmental delegate of the “Youth with Marine” movement, Antoine Baudino allegedly gave him a violent headbutt that evening, to the point of injuring him.

The young man had immediately posted on the social network Twitter a photo of his face, blood flowing from his nose.

Arrived at the public meeting of Stéphane Ravier, Enzo Alias ​​would not have "even had time to say anything" that Antoine Baudino would have immediately asked him what he was doing there, he told the AFP Thursday: "I answer" listen, I do what I want, I'm on the public road ", and there he gave me a head shot directly".

Lively exchanges of tweets between the two activists

Contacted by AFP, Antoine Baudino, who has since become coordinator of Reconquête!, Eric Zemmour's movement for the Bouches-du-Rhône, repeated the version already delivered to the regional daily

La Provence

: "I put on a fuss “, he said, evoking this gesture in rugby which designates the fact of pressing his hand on the face of an opponent to push him away.

"With a fuss, it's impossible to make someone's nose bleed," retorted Enzo Alias ​​to AFP.

Prior to their altercation, Antoine Baudino and Enzo Alias ​​had heated exchanges on Twitter.

“I tweeted about Stéphane Ravier denouncing the fact that he was leaving the National Rally, […] I tweeted several times in a violent way, but never insulting him, and that did not please his parliamentary assistant,” Enzo Alias ​​told AFP.
