A French MP criticised “noisy foreign weddings” on
Monday, slamming outdoor “Turkish and north African” celebrations as a danger
to traffic. Philippe Meunier advised those "who don't understand that, to
return to the country of their ancestors".
An opposition MP from France’s UMP party said Monday
that “noisy” weddings held by “Turkish and North African communities” were
unwelcome in France, claiming they hinder traffic circulation. “Here, we are in
France!” MP for Rhône, Philippe Meunier, said in a statement released on Monday.
“If these people don’t understand that, I advise them to return to the country
of their ancestors to live according to their traditions that aren’t ours,” he
added.
Meunier said an increasing number of wedding
celebrations caused traffic problems on major roads in Rhône – a region in the
southeast of France which borders Italy. “It is very dangerous for motorists
and motorcyclists,” he said. Meunier said he had been alerted to the reportedly
disruptive celebrations by the police and local residents.
