France, Zemmour responds to the middle finger of a protester: visit to Marseille amid controversy

PARIS – An irritating visit, without a meeting with the voters, which ends with a middle finger. The far-right polemicist Eric Zemmour, who is expected to announce his presidential candidacy in the coming days, ends his pre-campaign in turmoil. A photo of theAfp caused a stir Saturday after Zemmour’s eventful visit to Marseille.

Leaving a restaurant where the polemicist had just had lunch, a passer-by showed him the middle finger.
