Dutch politician Thierry Baudet of the Forum for Democracy speaks after announcement of exit polls results of European elections in Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 23, 2019. REUTERS/Eva Plevier/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAMSTERDAM, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Thierry Baudet, the leader of a far-right political party in the Netherlands, was assaulted during a campaign event two days before a national election, his party said. In a statement, Baudet's Forum for Democracy (FvD) said he had been struck in the back of the head with a beer bottle and struck on his temple. The assault drew condemnation as "totally unacceptable" from outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who is not a candidate in the Nov. 22 election. Baudet's FvD Party is known as Euro-sceptic, Dutch nationalist and anti-immigration.
