Jean-Yves Chapelet, le maire de Bagnols-sur-Cèze explique faire "pleinement confiance en l'État et la justice" concernant la demande de retrait du titre de séjour de l'imam Mahjoub Mahjoubi.

Mayor Jean-Yves Chapelet published a press release this Monday, February 19 concerning the request for the withdrawal of the residence permit of the imam of Bagnols-sur-Cèze  Mahjoub Mahjoubi. "I have full confidence in the State and in the justice system to make the necessary decisions in this matter"< /em>, he wrote.

Contacted by Midi Libre, the city's first magistrate indicates having seen the video in which the imam qualified "the tricolor flag as a satanic flag& ;quot;. "The remarks are not admissible, believes the mayor. I am a fervent Republican I fight all days so that everyone in this city can live their faith. The State, justice, the prefect and the prosecutor will play their role. Justice is held in the courts."

The imam told us that he had sent a message to Jean-Yves Chapelet to clarify his remarks. "J&# I hear his explanations but his defense is not from me that he should have. It will be dealt with in court. If the comments made are the right ones, they are unacceptable and I strongly condemn them. I have a thought for all the people who have a faith, whether they are Catholic, Protestant, Muslim or Jewish in this city. Their belief deserves better than this type of comment."
