Suiza prohíbe uso de la burka tras un apretado referéndum | International | Notice

Suiza approves this domino’s ban on occulting the rostrum in public, an accusatory decision by the partisans as a medium against radical Islam, for sexist and xenophobic classification by the opponents.

The initiative resulted in a referendum of 51.21% of the votes and a majority of cantons, following the official results published by the federal governor.

The text was initially proposed by the UDC’s populist party, was supported in particular by feminists and a part of the electorate of the Izquierda laica.

‘Nos alegramos. We do not believe that there is a radical Islam in our country “, declares the president of the UDC Suiza, Marco Chiesa in the Blick.tv magazine.

Switzerland follows the steps of France, Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium and Denmark, to ban the full wheel, for years to come.

The text does not mention the burka (tunic that covers the women with cabbage pieces and has an opening with a revelation to the height of the eyes) ni el nicab (which covers the body and the rose salvo of the eyes), but all the mundo tenía claro a quién se dirige.

In the campaign cartels do not cabe the minor doubt. Junto a “free radical Islamism” or “free extremism” appears to be in nicab.

It will be forbidden to completely cover the rostrum in public, but there are exceptions to, for example, places of worship.

Most tourists

According to the opponents, the use of the integral wheel is not a theme in Switzerland, but only some of the women will be dressed for the holidays.

The majority of women who live in nicab are tourists. Antennas from the coronavirus pandemic were not extracurricular assets in the tithes of Ginebra or Zurich.

“The prohibition of the integral wheel is not a means of combating the liberation of women. On the contrary, it is a symbolic political symbol that violates the freedom of expression and religion, ”said Cyrielle Huguenot, head of the women’s rights movement at the International Amnesty International, quoted in a statement.

According to figures from the Office of Statistics of 2019, there is an increase of 5.5% in the Swiss and Muslim population, mainly with races in the former Yugoslavia.
