Clinton Hit by Egg During Walk in Warsaw
Former President Clinton was jeered by anti-globalization protesters and hit by an egg while visiting Warsaw during a European speaking tour.
The egg struck Clinton’s sleeve as he walked in Warsaw’s Old Town. Police detained a 19-year-old man.
“The president laughed at the matter, saying, ‘It’s good for young people to be angry about something,’ ” spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said. Clinton was not injured.
About 150 young Poles protested outside the hotel where Clinton was speaking about globalization. Some of the demonstrators held banners reading “Globalization kills our planet” and “Yes to people, no to profit.”
