A far-right French mayor will be tried on hate charges over comments that include a claim the number of Muslim students in his city was a "problem", a judicial source said Wednesday.
Robert Menard, who is an ally of France's anti-immigrant National Front party, will face a charge in a Paris court of incitement to hatred or discrimination, the source said.
"In a class in the city centre in my town, 91 percent of the children are Muslims. Obviously, this is a problem. There are limits to tolerance", he said in September 5 comments on French news channel LCI.
Also in September, on France's first day back to school, he tweeted his regret at witnessing "the great replacement", using a term by xenophobic writer Renaud Camus to describe the country's white, Christian population being overtaken by foreign-born Muslims.
Menard, who is the mayor of southern France town Beziers, denied his comments were discriminatory.
"I just described the situation in my town," he told AFP. "It is not a value judgement, it's a fact. It's what I can see."
According to France-based anti-racism group Licra, the trial is set for March 8.

This Licra group and all others like it need to have charges filed against them for treason. Then kick the entire group out of France.
Wow, a politician, and a French one at that, who doesn't raise the white flag and retract his comments when the Media complains. Good for him.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.

Wow. But euro politicians can advocate white genocide no problem.

How do you defend yourself when the Law decides that a problem is not really a problem? Nothing the Mayor can do or say will prove his is right when the law has turned a blind eye!
