This Friday, December 31, 2021, the newspaper The world reveals that Jean Messiha, polemic columnist of Pascal Praud on Cnews and Cyril Hanouna on C8, would have been guilty of plagiarism. A crime which consists in repeating the words of an author without citing him and attributing his origin. In the case of Jean Messiha, this concerns the political activities of this enarque, today support of the presidential candidate Éric Zemmour and before that, of Marine Le Pen.
The RN notices “copied and pasted”
The current president of the National Rally, Jordan Bardella confirmed to World : “During 2019, we noticed that part of his work (those of Jean Messiha) was copied and pasted. We then decided to distance ourselves from him. ” Jean Messiha’s departure from the National Rally had until then been presented by the person concerned as the expression of a disagreement on the political line of the party.
€ 16,200 billed to the party
And our colleagues to add: “Between January 9 and May 25, 2019, Jean Messiha invoiced the campaign for European women for thirteen notes and arguments, coaching from Jordan Bardella and a trip to Metz for a total of € 16,200. However, of the thirteen notes, nine are copied, for the most part in their entirety, from resources already online. “
An amount which the National Rally would have requested reimbursement from the National Campaign Accounts Commission. Request refused due to “Blur maintained in [les] invoices [de Jean Messiha]». The world also reports that “The sole proprietorship with which Mr. Messiha invoiced his work was closed in September 2016 – more than two years before the campaign. However, in the absence of a structure, it is impossible to declare more than € 16,000 to Urssaf or to the tax services ”.
