During this trip “not late” in the evening, Prisca Thévenot notices a group of young people – consisting of about ten people – some of whose members are arguing over posters. “We tell them, no attack, it’s forbidden,” she explains. A note that was not liked by the people concerned who immediately attacked Virginie Lanlo (city representative and deputy minister) and an activist whose jaw was broken.
After the attack I suffered yesterday with Virginie and our campaign team, I want to thank the police and firefighters.

Violence is never the answer.
I will end my campaign on the ground.— Prisca THEVENOT (@priscathevenot) July 4, 2024
“Everything happened very quickly, because the national police who were supposed to patrol the area arrived in less than five minutes,” explains Prisca Thévenot, whose relatives of the attack went to Clamart hospital in the afternoon.
A member of the government filed a complaint and the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office opened an investigation, particularly regarding acts of “violence committed in meetings against elected public officials”. Four people, including three minors, were taken into custody.
