Nicolas Sarkozy takes shelter from egg-throwing mob

When Mr Sarkozy emerged from the Bar du Palais after around an hour he
appeared shaken, describing those who had baited him as “hooligans”.

Many were Basque separatists who resent having to abide by laws from Paris.

Following the incident on Thursday afternoon, Mr Sarkozy denounced “the
violence of a minority and their unacceptable behaviour”, adding: “Here,
we’re in France, on the territory of the French Republic. The President of
the Republic will go where he likes, and if that doesn’t please a minority
of troublemakers, too bad for them.”

Opinion polls regularly show that Mr Sarkozy is by far the most unpopular head
of state in the history of modern France.

He is widely expected to lose the April/May election to Socialist candidate
Francois Hollande.
