Line in the sand: French far-right MP takes on ex-bullfighter

LE CAILAR, France: If a far-right MP loses his seat in France’s legislative elections on Sunday it may be down to the bullfighting prowess of his opponent, one of dozens of non-politicians inducted into the arena by President Emmanuel Macron.

“I can just see the paper on Monday,” Gilbert Collard of the anti-immigration National Front (FN) said. “The bullfighter dealt the fatal blow to Collard... with a nice drawing of a bull and my idiotic face beside it, along with the lance.”
