We think that it is not only Zemmour who deserves eggs, justifies the collective Akira which claimed this action.
The candidate of the party Les Républicains in the presidential elections (LR), Valérie Pécresse, was sprayed with pink powder after her speech in front of the Confederation of small and medium-sized enterprises (CPME), Wednesday, March 16 at the headquarters of the organization in Puteaux (Hauts-de-Seine).
According to the campaign team of the LR candidate, she will not file a complaint against the two people who sprayed. They said to be part of the collective Akira. With franceinfo, this militant collective has indeed claimed this action. It has also relayed a video of the scene on its Twitter account.
We think that there is not only Zemmour who deserves eggs, said this collective, referring to the egg crushed on the head of the far right candidate, Saturday, during a trip to Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne). We wanted to put a little color in this campaign, he added.
On its Twitter account, the Akira collective proposes to everyone to join the revolution and advocates direct democracy, anti-capitalism, political ecology, feminism, anti-racism, abolition of the police or internationalism.
