Nicolas Koutseff, parliamentary collaborator since 2023 of the RN deputy for Var Laure Lavalette, was singled out by the media Les Jours for having published messages of a homophobic, racist and offensive nature on an account of the social network X for several years.
This is a new blow for the Var deputies of the National Rally. On September 26, the newspaper Release revealed that a neofascist activist had been hired as a parliamentary assistant by MP Philippe Schreck.
This time, it is the entourage of Laure Lavalette, RN deputy for the 2nd constituency of Var, who is tainted.
Nicolas Koutseff has been a parliamentary collaborator with the elected official since 2023, he is also a municipal councilor in Toulon. The media The Days revealed on October 2 that the employee posted dozens of hateful, homophobic and racist messages on the social network X (formerly Twitter) for several years.
Among the anthology of messages listed by the newspaper: insults towards journalists, politicians, but also royalist and anti-Semitic comments.
The media cites an example posted under an article mentioning the mayor of Trappes Ali Rabeh. He wrote, on February 9, 2021: “the mayor of the city you immediately understand that he is a little bitch! It’s written on his face!“.
Another example in 2019, under an article on the anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, he writes : “at least in the days of French Africa there weren’t all these genocides!!“.
Account X was deleted shortly after the investigation was published And messages are no longer accessible this Thursday, October 3.
Contacted by the editorial staff of France 3 Provence-Alpes, Laure Lavalette said “discover at the same time as you the indefensible tweets of my colleague published before he worked for me”. The MP confirms, in this same message, that she is separating from Nicolas Koutseff.
