Brigitte Macron's Relative Assaulted in Politically Motivated Attack.

A relative of French first lady Brigitte Macron was physically assaulted by anti-government protesters outside her family's chocolate shop in Amiens, northern France. The victim was left with several broken ribs, a head injury, and a hand wound. The attack has been widely condemned, with Brigitte Macron issuing a rare statement condemning the "cowardice, stupidity, and violence" of the assault, and President Emmanuel Macron calling it "unacceptable." Local police have arrested eight people over the assault, which took place after protests in the city center during a televised interview by President Emmanuel Macron on Monday evening.
