The co-chair of The Left was hospitalized during her summer holiday after a rare snake encounter.
PARIS — Manon Aubry, co-chair of the Left Group in the European Parliament, was back on her feet Thursday after being hospitalized for a snake bite. Aubry on Tuesday shared a picture of herself on a hospital bed after the incident, drawing widespread media attention in France. Aubry said Thursday that she was “unlucky,” as France typically only sees about 150 similar venomous snake bites and two serious cases a year.
