Nicolas Bay
Nicolas Bay (French pronunciation: [nikɔla bɛ]; born 21 December 1977) is a French politician and Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from France. He served as General Secretary of the National Front from 2014 to 2017. He has served as a Regional Councillor for Normandy since January 2016, having previously served as a Municipal Councillor for Elbeuf from 2014 to 2015.
In 2022, Bay was suspended from the National Rally over his support for Éric Zemmour. Afterwards, he joined Reconquête and was elected to the European Parliament in 2024. Days later, he left Reconquête, and subsequently joined Identity–Liberties.
Bay was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines. He joined the National Front at 15, in 1992. He soon became the leader of the National Front's youth wing (FNJ) in the Yvelines and Île-de-France region.[citation needed]
In 1998, along with Guillaume Peltier, he founded the Youth Christian Action Association (AJAC), a movement which opposed the PACS and euthanasia.[citation needed] It claimed around 250 members and was close to the National Republican Movement (MNR), led by Bruno Mégret.[citation needed]
In 1998, during the FN split, he joined Bruno Mégret's National Republican Movement, first as deputy national director of the National Movement of Youth (youth branch of the MNR) and later as responsible for elections within the party. He was one of the two MNR municipal councillors elected in Sartrouville (Yvelines) in the 2001 municipal elections when his list won 11.3% of the votes. He was candidate in the Yvelines' 5th constituency in the 2002 elections. In the 2004 regional election he was the MNR's top candidate in Île-de-France, winning 1.18% of the vote. As the MNR's top candidate in the Île-de-France European constituency in the 2004 European election, he won only 0.28% of the vote. He retained his seat in the Sartrouville municipal council in the 2008 local elections, but his list won only 5.2% of the vote. As a result, he was the MNR's only local councillor in French municipalities with more than 3,000 inhabitants.[citation needed]
Upon Mégret's resignation from the leadership of the MNR in May 2008, Bay and his allies won leadership of the party. However, due to his increasing contacts with the FN and Marine Le Pen in particular, the party council decided to remove him from the party in September 2008.[citation needed] Although he was not a member of the FN, instead head of a political club ('National Convergences'), he was on the FN's list (led by Marine Le Pen) in the North-West constituency in the 2009 European election.[citation needed]
Despite protests from within the party, he was selected to be National Front's candidate in Upper Normandy for the 2010 regional elections.
He participated in the protests against the law that legalized same-sex marriage in 2013.
