Political Motives Suspected in Assault on Brigitte Macron's Great-Nephew

TL;DR Summary
Eight people have been arrested after Brigitte Macron's great-nephew was attacked by anti-government protesters in the northern city of Amiens. Jean-Baptiste Trogneux was beaten up outside the family chocolate shop, which has repeatedly been targeted by protesters. President Emmanuel Macron has called the assault "unacceptable", adding that "violence has no place in a democracy". The Trogneux family business has shops across northern France and has repeatedly been targeted by protesters since Mr Macron has been in office amid rumours that the first family has a financial interest in the company - which it denies.
