The video reports on the trial of Robert Ménard, Mayor of Béziers, who refused on July 7, 2023, to marry an Algerian national under an OQTF (obligation to leave French territory). The elected official justifies his action by suspicions of a sham marriage and denounces the inconsistency of a law forcing a mayor to marry someone whom the State requests to be deported. The narrator mentions the support of Bruno Retailleau and Gérald Darmanin's past desire to change the law. Conversely, three LFI elected officials and Laurent Nunez argue that the mayor must obey the law. David Lysnard states that he would have also refused the marriage. The prosecution requested a symbolic fine of 7,500 euros.
