"I condemn both this violent attack and the deleterious and nauseating climate of the campaign on the constituency", denounces on her Facebook account, Sophie Bournot, candidate of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union in the 4th constituency of the Alpes-Maritimes.
Wednesday evening, while her husband and campaign manager Stéphane Poulet, also elected to La Trinité, was in Menton to stick posters on official billboards, he took a whim.
"An individual violently attacked him when he mentioned the criminal nature of the uprooting of posters as part of the official campaign," she continues on the post.
According to her testimony in
Nice-Matin
,
she explains that a man "tried to tear off Marine Le Pen's poster", then hers.
And “live, this person gave him a violent headbutt on the nose!
".
According to the local daily, his injuries remain relatively light.
He still filed a complaint and the candidate will do so as well.
“We are constantly insulted”
For the moment, the investigation is ongoing but no one has been arrested.
The attacker was accompanied by two children, in an area where surveillance cameras are present, which should make it possible to find this individual.
Sophie Bournot told the newspaper that this attack took place “in the somewhat nauseating context of the campaign, in particular in this constituency.
We are constantly insulted, called Islamo-leftists.
Today we are paying for weeks of rotten debate!
".
