Laurent Salles was among the defendants during the trial of the so-called “parliamentary assistant” case of the RN (ex-national-national). He had been sentenced to 6 months suspended prison sentence.
In July 2014, freshly elected European deputy for the first time, Louis Aliot, had hired Laurent Salles as parliamentary assistant, previously employed in the party.
During the trial, Louis Aliot, also mayor of Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales) and first vice-president of the RN, had been questioned about the express recruitment of Laurent Salles, without even making him pass an interview.
“We are at the FN,” said Louis Aliot during the hearing. I am recommended someone who is resourceful, I take it as is ”. The investigation, summarized by the court, did not show “any trace” of any work by Laurent Salles for Louis Aliot. Remember a “unique SMS” exchanged in eight months between the two men. And noted a shared “galette des rois” during an event in the Federation of Laurent Salles where Louis Aliot was invited as party manager.
For € 2,560 per month, Laurent Salles sorted the paper mail sent to Louis Aliot at the headquarters of the National Front.
During the same trial, Laurent Salles, who had said during the investigation to have discovered his function as parliamentary assistant “by receiving” his contract, had indicated that he wanted to “exercise the silence”, reports AFP.
“Obviously he knows that he was parliamentary attached. He knew very well what he signed all the more since he was very aware of social law. If he asked for the right to silence, it was because he considered everything to have said during police custody, that he also very badly lived. “Said in Paris Match Louis Aliot.
“It’s dramatic to get there. He’s really a nice boy. He had set up a list to the municipal elections in Suresnes, he was a real activist. He had been recommended to me as a parliamentary attaché by Nicolas Bay (from Passe to Eric Zemmour then Marion Marechal). It had not done it because he likes movement, events, not office work. However, I only needed someone who answered the phone and sorted the mail. That’s it. »»
Laurent Salles, groomer for dogs by profession, arrived at the FN when Marine Le Pen took the reindeer, at the turn of the 2010s. Several sources in the party indicate that he would have left a “mail” explaining his gesture, arguing with a disappointment in love between employees.
