In the runup to last weekend’s European elections, Jiri Paroubek, leader of the social-democrat opposition party in the Czech Republic, was repeatedly bombarded with hundreds of eggs during his election campaign.

The egg-throwing was said to be part of an orchestrated campaign by the governing ODS party, run by former prime minister Mirek Topolanek.

According to preliminary results, ODS won nine seats and the social-democrats CSSD seven.
