Too short to cut:

French court rules pork soup kitchen not racist

Wed Jan 3, 8:11 AM ET

A French court ruled Tuesday that an organization with far-right links can continue offering pork soup to the homeless, rejecting police complaints that the food distribution was racist.

Police banned the soup kitchen last month, arguing that the handouts discriminated against Jews and Muslims who do not eat pork on religious grounds.

The administrative court said the distribution was "clearly discriminatory," but could not be stopped because the organizers offered to feed anyone who asked for help.

The mayor of Paris condemned the ruling and urged the police to appeal the ruling.

"Faced by this initiative which stinks of xenophobia, I want once again to express city hall's desire to fight all forms of discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism," mayor Bertrand Delanoe said in a statement.

The food handouts are organized by a nationalist group called Solidarity of the French (SDF). It says its "pig soup," which uses pork fat for stock, is country fare much loved by French traditionalists.

"No-one has ever been able to prove that anyone has been refused soup or clothes on the grounds of their religion or race," SDF lawyer Frederic Pichon told France Info radio after Tuesday's court decision.
 
You will learn, dear Kathianne, that january, the 5th, the Conseil d'Etat, highest administrative law court of France, has pronounced the annulation of the judgement of the Administrative Tribunal of Paris, the one quoted in your link. (legal base of the decision : article L. 521-2 of the Administrative Justice Code).
So, the Conseil d'Etat said that the Prefet's decision to stop the "pork soup" distribution was not an too much bad and illegal decision according to the liberty of manifestation. The xenophobic idea of this soup, then, is condamned.

Glad to see you have soime interest for the french procedure rules for the administrative juridictions :D
