Independent deputy Sébastien Delogu has announced that he has repaid the child support he had stopped paying. The Marseille representative, who was recently highlighted by the investigative website Mediapart, revealed that he had not been paying support for his two children from an ex-partner since March 2025. The ex-partner has filed a formal complaint, and the unpaid amount is estimated to be nearly 20,000 euros. Delogu made the announcement on Saturday, September 19, expressing regret for his actions and stating that he had taken steps to correct the situation. In a public statement, Delogu said, "It is done," referring to the repayment of the overdue child support. He emphasized that paying child support is a legal and moral duty, and he wants to fulfill it as he has done for years. He assured that he had "taken the necessary measures to regularize this situation and repay the entire amount." The deputy, who represents the northern districts of Marseille, acknowledged that his recent difficulties were his own responsibility and that he had no intention of avoiding his obligations. Delogu expressed particular remorse that his children should not suffer the consequences of his actions. He wrote, "The difficulties I have encountered recently are my responsibility, and I have no intention of evading my obligations. I apologize all the more because my children should not bear the consequences." The 39-year-old deputy has been under public scrutiny since Mediapart's report in early September, which revealed the extent of his unpaid child support. This situation has raised questions about the responsibilities of public figures and the importance of fulfilling legal obligations, even in times of personal hardship. Delogu’s actions have been seen as an attempt to rectify a serious breach of duty and to restore trust with his former partner and his children.
