DEXYPTAGE - This Thursday, February 20, the Senate is considering a bill that could avoid a judicial conviction to Robert Ménard. The mayor of Béziers risks up to five years in prison for refusing to marry an Algerian under OQTF and in an irregular situation to a French woman.

While the mayor of Béziers Robert Ménard was tried for refusing to celebrate the union between a French woman and an Algerian under OQTF, 75% of the French felt that marriages involving at least one illegal alien should be prohibited.

The mayor of Béziers (Hérault) Robert Ménard refused this Tuesday to "advocate guilty" and will therefore be tried by a correctional court, after refusing to marry a man under OQTF. This case comes as senators examine on Thursday a text that specifically prohibits the marriage of a person in an irregular situation. But this measure is contrary to the Constitution.
