 Three candidates have reported being attacked while out campaigning. Hugh Schofield has more detail. Prisca Thévenot, whose spokeswoman for Attal's government, was putting up election posters in the suburb of Meudon, where she's a candidate, on Sunday. After she asked some local youths to stop defacing the posters, the youths turned on her and her two colleagues. She was unhurt, but the two others were briefly hospitalised, one with a fractured jaw.
