In a dramatic last minute reversal, the top French administrative court ruled Thursday to uphold a ban on anti-Semitic comic Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala. The ruling overturned a local court decision earlier in the day allowing his performance in Nantes, and came right before the show was to begin.

The local Nantes judge earlier Thursday had overruled the ban of the comic, which was implemented according to the instructions of French Interior Minister Manuel Valls and President Francois Hollande. The ban was previously upheld Wednesday in the city of Pau regarding a planned show in Biarritz.

Valls turned to the Council of State to intervene in the case just minutes after the Nantes ruling that allowed the comic to perform, reports BBC.

The interior minister hailed the ruling as a "victory for the Republic" over anti-Semitism. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault further emphasized that the move "reinforces the government's position" to get rid of "anti-Semitic excesses."

Dieudonne, who has seven convictions for anti-Semitic hate speech, arrived at the theater in Nantes where he was set to perform, and where over 5,000 French had already bought tickets.

Upon learning of the cancellation, fans of the anti-Semitic comedian booed and chanted his name.

Oui. Le Republique is saved. Now no gunmen will slaughter little madamoiselles, no rioters firebomb cars, and no juives will be attacked by les mobs in le street. France will not even support les EU labels that identify les produites from Judah and Samaria--I mean le West Bank, to make zem easier to boycott. Non. Not us. In le mean time, we'll keep importing Algerians, who are very good at doing nothing and rioting, and le Republique est aok.
