LE FIGARO: Brice Hortefeux a indiqué que le père de la femme verbalisée pour conduite en niqab aurait contacté la gendarmerie pour des violences présumées sur sa fille.

Une affaire encore loin d'être terminée. Brice Hortefeux a assuré mardi que l'affaire Liès Hebbadj, conjoint de la femme verbalisée pour conduite en niqab, irait «jusqu'à son terme» et a fait savoir que le père de cette dernière avait contacté la gendarmerie pour des violences présumées sur sa fille. Il aurait, à cet effet, déposé lundi un «renseignement» (proche de la main courante) à la brigade de gendarmerie de Vieillevigne (Loire-Atlantique). >>> Par Flore Galaud | Mercredi 28 Avril 2010

Mistresses Are French Way of Life Says Accused Polygamist

THE TELEGRAPH: A Muslim Frenchman accused of polygamy defended himself on Monday by saying that keeping mistresses was the French way of life.

Brice Hortefeux, the French interior minister, said the citizenship of Lies Hebbadj should be revoked if allegations that he had four wives proved to be true.

But the Algerian-born butcher hit back, saying: "If we are stripped of nationality, for having mistresses, there would be a lot of French people stripped of nationality.

"As far as I know, mistresses are not forbidden, neither in France, nor in Islam."

Mr Hebbadj did not specify whether he lives under the same roof with the various women in his life, although French media reports have quoted neighbours who claimed he moved between several houses.

Mr Hebbadj is suspected of profiting from state subsidies for single women provided to each of the wives. >>> | Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Hortefeux, l'homme (trop) pressé

leJDD.fr: Loin de s'estomper, la polémique lancée vendredi soir par Brice Hortefeux sur le cas de Liès Hebbadj pourrait se retourner contre son auteur.

Brice Hortefeux est-il allé trop vite? En annonçant dès vendredi soir vouloir déchoir de sa nationalité française le sulfureux Liès Hebbadj, le ministre de l'Intérieur a provoqué une agitation certaine dans les rangs politiques. A gauche, bien sûr, où il est attaqué sur le fond de son initiative, mais également à droite. Dimanche soir, puis lundi matin, Eric Besson a tenté de ne pas se brûler les doigts en réceptionnant la patate chaude. Admettant qu'il était délicat, en l'espèce, de prouver que le jeune Nantais est effectivement polygame - et renvoyant ce dossier à la justice - le ministre de l'Immigration et de l'Identité nationale a trouvé comme seule porte de sortie l'idée d'une "adaptation législative" sur les critères permettant d'aboutir à une déchéance de nationalité. Au risque de rajouter de la confusion à la confusion, dans un contexte politique, voire social, déjà très tendu sur la question du voile intégral. C'est d'ailleurs dans une ambiance alourdie - au moins trois attaques contre la communauté musulmane ont été recensés ce lundi à Istres et Marseille- que François Fillon a insisté "sur la nécessité d'éviter les amalgames et les préjugés qui donnent une image déformée de l'islam de France". Le projet de loi en conseil des ministres le 19 mai >>> Nicolas Moscovici - leJDD.fr | Lundi 26 Avril 2010

LE FIGARO: Face à la polygamie, Besson prêt à faire évoluer la loi : Pour le ministre de l'Immigration, les personnes qui «ne respectent pas les valeurs de la République» ne méritent pas de conserver la nationalité française. >>> Par Cécilia Gabizon | Mardi 27 Avril 2010

UK Recession: Mistresses Are the Credit Crunch's Latest Victims

Full nakedness! All joys are due to thee; 
As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be 
To taste whole joys. Gems which you women use
 Are like Atlanta’s ball cast in men’s views; 
That, when a fool’s eye lighteth on a gem, 
His earthly soul might court that, not them. 
Like pictures, or like books’ gay coverings made 
For laymen, are all women thus array’d.
 Themselves are only mystic books, which we
 - Whom their imputed grace will dignify - 
Must see reveal’d. – Elegy XX. 'To His Mistress Going to Bed' by John Donne
THE TELEGRAPH: Mistresses have become an unnecessary expense during the recession.

'When a man marries his mistress," the late Sir James Goldsmith famously said, "he creates a vacancy." In today's economic climate, that "vacancy" looks increasingly likely to remain unfilled.

As men, fearful for their jobs and marriages, seek to cut back on their assets and expenditures, mistresses are facing a cull. A recent survey reports that nearly half of analysts, stockbrokers and hedge-fund managers are preparing to let the other woman go. There's no doubt about it: these are bad times for the good time girls.

"Like luxury cars, mistresses require a lot of time and money to be spent on them," says Josh Spero, senior editor of Spear's Wealth Management Survey, "so when it comes to wealthy men cutting back, the other woman is near the top of their list."

Although modern mistresses may differ from their historical counterparts – in the past, royal mistresses of European monarchs such as Nell Gwynne and Madame de Pompadour were not simply kept women but figures of immense influence – the fragrant breed exists in a variety of forms. "It may be a far cry from 18th and 19th-century France," says Oliver James, the psychologist, "but there are different types of mistresses around today, including the 'other women' who describe themselves as 'mistresses' without feeling there are any negative connotations attached."

Should these credit crunch squeezes survive the cull, their prospects (as for so many in the private sector) will be humbler. In America, where the recession is more deeply entrenched, newly parsimonious guidelines are already being established by prolific adulterers: according to a recent survey by Prince and Associates, a market research firm specialising in private wealth, more than 80 per cent of multi-millionaires who had extra-marital lovers are cutting back on their gifts and allowances.

"Rich people are getting hit, and they're all expressing the need to curtail unnecessary spending," said Russ Alan Prince, the firm's president. "Lovers are part of the same calculation." >>> By Celia Walden | Thursday, March 26, 2009
