Dutch far-right leader hit with umbrella

Dutch right-wing party leader Thierry Baudet was attacked by a man wielding an umbrella as he arrived at Ghent University in Belgium to give a lecture.

The attacker was waiting for Mr Baudet outside a conference venue and hit him once on the head. He was heard shouting 'no to fascism, no to Putinism'.

In the future he may even go further to the RIGHT to avoid the umbrella.

"No fascism!" shouts the person physically attacking another because they don't agree with their politics.

"Umbrella-control" "umbrella-free zone"

Yo bro was trying to give him the mary poppins treatment

If he's so Anti Putin, why ain't he on the front line in Ukraine?

[jeicarolacv]

But is the umbrella okay? Can someone inform us about the umbrella? We don’t care about Baudet, we need to know about the umbrella

[ashk]

Why does everyone assume it’s a left winger, only because the right winger got attacked?

[Safeflyer]

[MichaelBaumer]

Good, now deport him to Ukraine, they are always in need of fighters...

[kevinnugent]

“Extremist hits political party leader with umbrella.”

[brianpeck]

Ouch that looks like it really hurts there's little metal wires in those things

[johnsull-upku]

Jesus, that was some slap off an umbrella..What brand was it cause most others would have broken..

[andsowot]

Anyone explain why he's far right? He wouldn't be against mass immigration and islamic ideology would he?

[akshunexpress]

That umbrella doesn't scale very well with his current character build.

[scarfaceism]

Rumours have it he was listening to 'under my umbrella' before the attack
