Sarkozy hides in bar to escape angry protesters

Nicolas Sarkozy was booed at Bayonne, by hundreds of Basque protesters calling for more autonomy, and hid himself in a bar when they started throwing eggs. The French president is campaigning by the country towards the presidential elections in April, of which polls put him behind the socialist candidate, François Hollande. We can’t understand how an experienced politician like Sarkozy did not take this chance to get himself attacked and make this campaign more emotional, which is always favorable to whom is behind in the polls. The good side of the story is that Sarkozy could then quietly take a piss, which is not always easy in the midst of these campaign walks.
