Alerted by a Tiktok video, Aurore Bergé, the Minister of Solidarity and Families, reframed its author last Friday, December 22. The TikToker, with 13,000 subscribers, boasts in one of his videos of not working and living solely thanks to state aid. “I live on aid from France, the French work for me”, he said at the start of his video, which had more than 648,000 views on Monday December 25. This sequence, widely distributed, was denounced by Aurore Bergé.

“Be careful of videos of individuals only seeking buzz and making their comments on the back of truth and national solidarity”, she wrote on She explains, for example, that we cannot “cumulate the youth employment contract and the RSA”.

The National Family Allowance Fund (Cnaf) also reacted on X on Friday December 22. “The individual has been identified and checks are underway. The first investigations raise doubts about his assertions. In the event of proven fraud, a complaint will be filed against him.”

The “fachosphere” relays, the influencer admits not receiving any assistance

The tiktoker in question, “ALP”, seems familiar with ironic and provocative videos on the subject. In the bio of his Tiktok profile, we can indeed read that he is “pro-fascist provocateur“. Moreover, the video was widely shared by accounts assimilated to the “fachosphere” on the various social networks. And this to corroborate the far-right argument, according to which foreigners settle in France to benefit money paid by the State without any compensation.

A few days later, the tiktoker publicly confirmed that he did not touch “no aid from CAF, neither RSA nor APL”wrote the National Family Allowance Fund on X. The Cnaf also claims to have carried out a verification. “These unacceptable videos are made but also widely relayed with the aim of creating buzz by degrading national cohesion”continues Cnaf.

“I type in the RSA”

However, this is not the first time that the minister has reframed an author of provocative content. Last September, Seby Daddy, a larger influencer with nearly 4 million subscribers on Instagram and 408,000 followers on Tiktok, assured in an interview that he had received the RSA while living in the United States. “It’s not my problem if society opens doors for people like me to tap into the RSA, he confided during the interview. I am within my rights”, he declared.

The minister was quick to correct the influencer’s comments about X. “No account was found in his name by the CAF in the checks immediately carried out. The mail he shows in his videos is… a fake! The registration number corresponds to another person, removed from the files since …2013!”
