Lega Proposes Ban on Face-Concealing Veils in Public Spaces

Ansa

The Italian Lega party has introduced a bill to prohibit the wearing of face-concealing clothing, such as burqas or niqabs, in public areas. This measure aims to promote public safety and transparency, while also respecting the principles of secularism and social cohesion. By implementing this ban, Italy joins other European countries in regulating the use of face-covering veils in public spaces, ensuring a balance between individual freedom and collective security, and addressing concerns related to national security and social integration, with a focus on public order and community relations.
