Serge Élie Ayoub (born 29 October 1964), also known under the alias Batskin, is a French political activist associated with the far-right and formerly the hooligan movement.

Biography

Ayoub was born in Bagnolet. His French mother was a magistrate,[1] his father, of Lebanese descent, was a civil servant.[2] On a language study trip to England, he first learned about punk movement and became interested in neo-nazi skinheads.

He became associated with the hooligans of the Parc des Princes, supporters of Paris Saint-Germain, with the Pitbull Kop. He founded in 1987 the Jeunesses Nationalistes Révolutionnaires ("Revolutionary Nationalist Youth", also known by its initialism JNR) and joined the Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University. In 1993, he was a candidate during the 1993 French legislative election where he obtained 0.17% of the votes. He was associated with Alain Soral's movement, Égalité et Réconciliation, close to Frédéric Chatillon, member of Groupe Union Défense and founded a bar for conferences with Jean-Paul Gourévitch, Pierre Sidos, Pierre Hillard, François-Bernard Huyghe, Guillaume de Tanoüarn, Michel Drac, Romain Bessonnet, Jean-Marie Vianney Ndagijimana, Véronique Hervouët, David Mascré, Maurice Gendre, Denis Collin and Marine Le Pen. In 2013,[3] he made several media appearances following the death of Clément Méric, an antifascist activist who died during a fight with skinheads. The decision to give Ayoub public visibility was criticized by then-Minister of Education Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.[4][5][6][7]

Personal life

In the 1990s, Ayoub was romantically involved with pornographic actress Tabatha Cash.[2][8]
