Laure Lavalette, MP (RN) for Var, has separated from her parliamentary assistant Nicolas Koutseff. Several hateful tweets emanating from an account maintained by the latter were revealed by the media Les Jours.
In July, Jordan Bardella spoke of the presence of “bad apples” within the RN, after multiple slip-ups by several party candidates in the legislative elections. For the second time in a few days, it is a parliamentary assistant who has been singled out for numerous problematic comments.
Nicolas Koutseff worked as a parliamentary collaborator of Laure Lavalette, MP for the 2nd constituency of Var. This Wednesday, October 2, the media Les Jours revealed that it had published numerous hateful posts on the social network X in recent years.
“A disciplinary procedure is underway, I am in the process of separating myself from it,” declared the Var MP to BFM Toulon Var this Thursday, October 3.
At the end of September, it was the parliamentary assistant of another Var MP, Philippe Schreck, who was singled out by Libération for his connections with the neofascist community.
Laure Lavalette separates
Football players, political figures, journalists… The parliamentary collaborator’s insults were aimed at different personalities. Among the anthology of messages spotted by Les Jours, most of them can be described as racist, homophobic or misogynistic.
Nicolas Koutseff thus praises colonization and the Banania brand, claims that “Arabs don’t like water”, links “Ramadan, scum, rap”, evokes a “shit feminist”, refers to Éric Zemmour by calling him “that Jew” or describing the mayor of Trappes Ali Rabeh as “a little bitch”.
Laure Lavalette initially mentioned messages that were “intolerable and contrary to her political line” to the online media, while refuting an allegedly “fallacious, defamatory and slanderous” interpretation of her assistant’s writings.
The RN MP is one of the rising figures of the far-right party, for which she is today the group’s spokesperson in the National Assembly. Elected in 2022 then re-elected in the first round in 2024, she had been a Toulon municipal councilor for eight years previously.
Laure Lavalette is rightly tipped as a future candidate for the National Rally in Toulon for the 2026 municipal elections.
