Béziers mayor to stand trial for refusing marriage to undocumented Algerian
The mayor of Béziers will be tried at the end of September for denying a marriage ceremony to an undocumented Algerian man ordered to leave France.
The legal case stems from the mayor's refusal to marry an Algerian illegal immigrant who had been instructed to depart the country. A court hearing is slated for late September. The mayor has called on the head of state to repeat his 2025 remark that the episode was "ubuesque." The article also contains a routine cookie-consent notice.
