French government spokesperson Prisca Thevenot and her team were attacked by multiple people late Wednesday, France’s prime minister confirmed.
Thevenot, a French MP and member of President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party, was putting up election posters in her constituency in Hauts-de-Seine, on the western side of Paris, when she was attacked by a group of people, according to French media reports.
Thevenot was not injured but a member of her team was taken to hospital with a broken jaw, according to Europe 1. Several people were arrested, Le Figaro reported.
French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal condemned the attack and called for an end to political violence.
“This evening, a candidate, Prisca Thevenot, and members of her campaign team were attacked by four individuals in Meudon while they were putting up election posters,” he said on X.
“Violence and intimidation have no place in our democracy. They have no place in our Republic,” he added. “Let us reject the climate of violence and hatred that is taking hold. I call for action, now.”
This is a developing story.
