If the Balkany couple still enjoys a foolproof popularity with the inhabitants of Levallois-Perret, this is not really the case for their relatives. Indeed, for a few weeks, their two children, Alexandre and Vanessa seem to have chosen sides for the next municipal elections. And it's not their parents'! In the running to succeed Patrick Balkany, his former collaborator Agnès Pottier-Dumas, the candidate supported by Alexandre and Vanessa since the first round. Opposite, the former sworn enemy of the spouses, Arnaud de Courson, center-right candidate, whom Isabelle and Patrick suddenly decided to rally. According to the weekly Marianne, it was the candidate's refusal to barter their support for two positions at the town hall which would have led the spouses to change their rifle.

"I give you 15 minutes to write me a letter with your most beautiful pen saying that you agree on the honor to make us a contract with Isabelle and me. Otherwise I call to vote from Courson. ", reportedly threatened Patrick Balkany, still according to the newspaper. But Agnès Pottier-Dumas does not move. So Patrick Balkany carries out his threats. Their children camp on their position, much to the chagrin of the one his grandchildren affectionately call "Mamisa". To a message of support formulated by Vanessa to her candidate of heart, her mother answered by a scathing invective on Facebook, related by our colleagues from Point. "My darling, how happy I am to see that you have waited 43 years to worry about Levallois, you who (sic) always hated this city, pretending that our love for Levalloisiens would have prevented us (re-sic) from being attentive enough with you! To the point, not to speak to me, during confinement, when I leave the hospital, but to spend your time yelling at your children! But you are my daughter and I forgive you, even if I hardly notice that my "sprites" of Levallois offer me (re-sic) more love than you! How sorry I am that you are using social media to display your bitterness and bitterness in public! Kisses." Wednesday May 27, 2020, Isabelle and Patrick Balkany were sentenced by the Paris Court of Appeal for laundering tax fraud.
