Colmar – The giant portrait of the former president of the European Parliament (1979-82) was the target of bottles thrown at her on Tuesday night, said a spokeswoman for the CEA, a merger of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departmental councils. “The forensic police have taken fingerprints. The ECA filed a complaint this morning,” she said.

In a photo circulated by Renaissance MP Brigitte Klinkert, former president of the Haut-Rhin departmental council, we can see damage to the portrait of the former minister, a silkscreen print placed on windows.
