The abuse occurred after the budget of the capital region of Tours-Val-de-Loire in France was approved on April 4 last year. While drinking, the organization’s president, Frederic Augis, attacked a descendant of the Portuguese, Cedric de Oliveira, mayor of Fondeta and vice-president of the capital region.
Irritated by Oliveira’s oppositional stance, he began by saying: “You are nothing more than a little vice president.” He then said: “You are nothing more than a dirty Portuguese.” The French expression “sale portugais”, a racial slur used on numerous occasions in the past, was heard by the victim and several witnesses.
This incident was reported a few days later by Cédric de Oliveira in an open letter to Ojis. “These racist slurs are deeply offensive and should have no place in any debate,” he said. He also wrote a letter to the mayor’s office, which led to the initiation of a case in the correctional court of Tours. Augis wrote a letter of apology to Oliveira, but on March 11 he was sentenced to a suspended sentence of one year of disqualification and a fine of 12 thousand euros for “insulting a person holding public authority” and “public insult of a racial nature by a person holding public authority.” .
DETAILSBoth are right
Both rightists are involved in this: Ogis from the Republicans and Oliveira from Divers Droite, but they did not understand each other.

Filipe Puzos, the mayor of La Riche, also of Portuguese origin, says Ogis cannot continue in his post.
