Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, was hit on the head with an egg Saturday, just days after another incident in which a protester threw flour at him.

Bardella was at an event in Moissac, southwest France, to promote his latest book when a man broke the egg on his head.

The suspected attacker, a 74-year-old man, was arrested and taken into custody for violence against a public official, prosecutor Montauban Bruno Sauvage told AFP.

        I’ve never fully understood this phrase because don’t you have a cake by eating it?

        “what did you eat last night?” “I had a cake instead of dinner”

          “I have a cake (in my possession)” as opposed to “I’m having / I had a cake (for a meal)”. Perhaps the less ambiguous phrasing would be “…and keep it too” – the nuance is probably academic at this point – but proverbs tend to be stubborn.
