Léon Thébault, a Nupes candidate in the legislative elections in the 1st district of Aveyron, is seen in a video snorting a white powder, surrounded by friends.

A video very quickly shared by Damien Rieu, a former leader of the extreme right-wing group Identity Generation, on Twitter.

In this video we see the young man in what appears to be a nightclub snorting a white powder deposited on his hand.

Lasting five seconds, the video is accompanied by the caption “Well then Léon??

".

Good evening @LeonThebault is it you on this video?

Contacted by our colleagues from Parisian, the young man is demented.

“This video is old.

It dates from when I was in first grade.

We were at a party with friends, and it wasn't about drugs but about a crushed Doliprane, reduced to powder.

It's the kind of stupid things you can do when you're a teenager and in a party," he said, before adding: "With the publication of this video, we see what is capable of the extreme right to smear the other candidates.

»

Léon Thébault has not yet questioned his legislative campaign.

“In any case, this does not call into question my commitment.

I will continue my campaign, ”he assured.

Case to follow.
