Fries thrown at PM
Print Edition
BELGIAN Prime Minister Charles Michel was bombarded with French fries and squirted with mayonnaise on Monday by ex-Femen activists angry at the government’s austerity plans.
“Michel get out, austerity get out,” cried the four activists as the 38-year-old premier was beginning a speech in the southern city of Namur, according to several media present.
French fries are popular in Belgium.
The women, wearing masks and fully dressed unlike the usually topless Femen activists, were swiftly tackled by security personnel as Michel looked on, smiling in a mayo-stained suit.
After the incident, he restarted his speech apologizing “that I smell of mayonnaise.”
The young premier leads a coalition.
