In debt to the RN, Nicolas Bay ordered to repay € 20,000

At the end of August, the return to politics often rhymes with the resumption of hostilities. This is also the case on the far right. Between Reconquest and the National Rally, the summer break is over, and the exchange of fire resumes. First victim of the season: Nicolas Bay. The MEP, former frontist who joined Éric Zemmour during the presidential campaign, is in the sights of RN executives. At issue: a loan of 20,000 euros, contracted with the party for the regional elections of 2021, which the latter has still not repaid. “It’s out of the question to let this pass, even more so for traitors like him“, we loose in the ranks of the party to the flame.

Nicolas Bay assures that he will reimburse the sum as soon as possible

Contacted by Le Figaro, Nicolas Bay ensures that he will reimburse the amount due as soon as possible. The sum of 20,000 euros, considered non-refundable by the campaign accounts commission, concerns an additional official display expense, encouraged by the management of the RN. “It was decided at the RN that the party would take into account the disputed expenses for all the candidates while they seize the appeals, with the exception of my case.“, regrets Nicolas Bay, who deplores “despicable methods“.

Message received on the Reconquest side. Between the ex-RNs who crossed the Rubicon and the faithful of Marine Le Pen, the few months since the second round of the presidential election have not been enough to ease tensions. And to this accusation, Zemmourist supporters respond: “Marine Le Pen, as head of the Hauts-de-France list for the 2015 regional elections, had exceeded reimbursable expenses by 350,000 euros. And this sum had been entirely absorbed by the party, this episode illustrates well the methods which have always characterized them…“. The month of September promises to be tense.
