Flera tidningar skriver idag om att Frankrikes president Nicolas Sarkozy vill förbjuda burka. Sarkozy menade att burkan handlar om kvinnlig underkastelse, inte om religion.
"In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause in a speech at the Chateau of Versailles, southwest of Paris.
He said the burka — an all-concealing traditional dress, with built-in mesh covering the eyes — is "a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement."
"I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory," he said.
Uttalandet är en reaktion på en parlamentarisk utredning med ledamöter från höger till vänster som rekommenderar förbud att bära burka.
André Gerin, a Communist MP, led the motion for the latest inquiry, calling the burka and niqab "a moving prison" for women. Some women's groups, including Muslim ones, back the new measures. Housing minister Fadela Amara, a rights campaigner of Algerian background, said that she was alarmed by the number of women "who are being put in this kind of tomb".
