Description

This document concerns the possibility of administrative sanctions to be taken against Mr. Bellat, mayor of Sidi-Bel-Abbès. He refuses to consider the Israelites as French citizens, a pretext taken from their status as a French subjects and not as a French citizens. Jews are removed from electoral lists, recruitment lists, we refuse to issue identity cards to go to France to some of them, we reject their requests and their testimonies. The role and political influence of Mr. Bellat, according to the report, can encourage other mayors to take such anti-Semitic initiatives, if “no sanction comes to warn the mayors against such behavior”.
