Full-Face Veils Banned In Portugal After President Signs ‘Burqa Law’<\/span><\/p>\n

Via Remix News<\/a>,<\/em><\/p>\n

Portuguese President Ant\u00f3nio Jos\u00e9 Seguro has officially signed into law a bill<\/strong> banning face-concealing attire in public spaces, with the move seen targeting the full-face Islamic veils like the burqa and niqab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Addressing the national debate, President Seguro framed the decision around human interaction, stating:<\/p>\n

“The face should be considered a central element of human identity and communication.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

However, the former Socialist Party leader acknowledged the controversial nature of the ban, recognizing it as a matter of significant cultural and social sensitivity.<\/p>\n

The law was largely backed by the country’s right-wing politicians and labeled the “burqa law” by Portuguese media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It passed parliament in July<\/strong> with the votes of right-wing parties, with the left firmly in opposition.<\/p>\n

The new legal framework strictly limits garments designed to hide one’s identity in public spaces.<\/p>\n

It also penalizes forcing individuals to cover their faces based on gender, religion, or age.<\/p>\n

Violators face financial penalties ranging from \u20ac150 to \u20ac3,000. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are, however, some exceptions.<\/p>\n

Wearing items that cover the face, such as medical masks, professional\/artistic gear, and extreme weather wear, are all examples of exceptions under the law.<\/p>\n
