A halal supermarket in Paris has been ordered by local authorities to sell pork and alcohol or face closure.

It argues that members of the local community are not being served properly if the shop does not sell pork or alcohol products.

Goueta’s chief of staff, Jerome Besnard, told the Daily Telegraph the community was not being properly served and that the town’s reaction would have been the same had a kosher store opened in the area.

The authority is taking legal action to revoke the shop’s lease, which runs until 2019.
