Violation of the proposed restriction could reportedly lead to fines of up to €3,000, local media reports.
Italy’s ruling party has called for a ban on Muslim clothing that obstructs facial recognition in public places, according to a statement released by the Brothers of Italy party on Wednesday. Violations of the ban could result in fines of up to €3,000, local media outlets have reported, citing the draft proposal.
In addition to the complete ban on full-face veils in public places, schools, universities, offices, and commercial venues, the proposed measure imposes stricter rules on financial transparency in places of worship, making it easier to trace foreign funding. The draft also calls for banning so‑called virginity tests and harsher penalties for forced marriages, practices the party says violate human dignity.
The move seeks to “protect Italian identity, citizen security, and women’s freedom,” the right-wing ruling party said in a statement, arguing that the measure would not curb religious liberty, but prevent its misuse to justify practices contrary to the constitution and social norms.
The proposed measure provides “concrete tools to stop the spread of fundamentalist practices and opaque financing that threaten security and social cohesion,” according to the party’s MP Galeazzo Bignami.
Italy already has a law, dating from 1975, that prohibits garments fully covering the face in public spaces, primarily targeting helmets or masks used for concealment rather than religious garb.
France became the first European country to fully ban the niqab in public places in 2011, introducing penalties such as fines or community service. Several other countries subsequently implemented similar measures, including Belgium, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The United Nations has warned that these bans could restrict religious freedom and risk further marginalizing women by limiting their participation in public life.

Interesting two articles today; Italy to ban burqa, NZ to allow facial profiling.
Conspiracy surely.
The best ban would be not importing extremists to start with……..
Nothing like fornicating with the devil
Allowing these pagan heavens to dwell in white communities

There are racial Laws
Do not mix

Do not fornicate with – adultery – to alter
Do not allow the alien to reside within
NEVER ALLOW THE ALIEN TO RULE OVER YOU
Quite simple really
Otherwise experience first hand to our detriment what we are experiencing now which the bible has been warning about for over 7000 years
Well the European population should have started with itself with this good ” christian” advice and stayed in europe its homeland.
Every creature is God’s creature.
The muslims, blacks etc. did not asked to be taken to slavery, bought and sold as cattle. Or to be bombed to smitheren and be obliged to look for shelter elsewere. Neither to be ruled over by colonial entities and for some totally exterminated by european colons.
Respect begins with oneself.
And start respecting other cultures / people not equal to yours perhaps, but surely not worse than your.
Nobody ask you to love them and i dont particularly do, but most people crave peace
They have a great Prime Minister.
What a wonderful PM
