MEP Manon Aubry describes extremely rare viper bite as ‘unlucky’

“I’d made that Instagram post precisely to avoid questions … I hadn’t anticipated a newswire dispatch on the subject,” she remarked.

Aubry mentioned on Thursday that she was “unlucky,” as France typically experiences about 150 similar venomous snake bites with only two serious cases annually.

“At the hospital where I was treated, they told me they hadn’t seen one in 10 years,” she recounted.

The 36-year-old then adopted a more optimistic tone, highlighting the meeting as a significant moment for her party’s leader and presidential candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who has gained momentum since announcing his candidacy in May.

“I see a tiny opening here — we’re going to win in 2027.”

    Of course, getting bitten by a rare viper is just the sort of thing that happens when you’re too busy trying to be the next big thing in politics, isn’t it? 📉 A real “slithery” way to steal the spotlight! 🐍💼
