IT CONTINUES: Portugal’s parliament vote to BAN face veils
Portugal’s parliament approves bill by the Chega party.
Looks like things are happening quickly now.
I recently reported on how the right-wing government in Italy planned a new law to ban face veils in all public places.
Shortly after, the Swedish Deputy Prime Minister suggested that Sweden should also ban burqa and niqab in the country ”while we still can” she said in a comment.
Italy plan to BAN Islamic face coverings in public
In the latest move from Georgia Meloni’s right-wing government in Italy, they are now planning on completely BANNING people from wearing the burqa and niqab in public places, schools, shops, offices and universities across the country.
Now, the parliament in Portugal just approved a bill to BAN face veils being used for ”gender or religious motives” in almost all public places (except planes, diplomatic places or places of worship).
The bill was proposed by the right-wing Chega party and people breaking the law would face fines between €200 and €4000.
And if someone forces anyone else to wear a face veil, it could result in prison for up to three years!
Surprise! Female lawmakers from left-wing parties in Portugal (who I assume would call themselves feminists) opposed this bill. Why would they do that?
”We are today protecting female members of parliament, your daughters, our daughters, from having to use burqas in this country one day” said Chega party leader Andre Ventura.
There are already countries in Europe where the burqa and niqab are banned in public places, such as in Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and France to name a few.
good news, I hope the bill passes. it remains incomprehensible as to why leftist women are so unwilling to protect other women
