Protesters jeered and swarmed around far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, streaming into a hotel in the overseas territory of Guadeloupe where she was recording a television programme, BFM TV reported on Sunday, reports The Daily Herald.
Protestors chanted, “Out Le Pen” and “Racist Le Pen,” as they surrounded the candidate on Saturday while she was escorted out of the room and through the hotel.
Her campaign intends to file a complaint, her spokesman Julien Odoul told Franceinfo.
“This is agitation from extreme left-wing militants, local Black groups who spoil everything, wherever they are active in the territory of the Republic,” he said, referring to an anti-fascist movement that was often blamed for violence at street marches in France during the yellow vest movement.
“I find it shocking, like everyone else, and I strongly condemn them,” President Emmanuel Macron said on French TV channel France 3.
