Gabriel Attal and Renaissance wish to prohibit the veil for those under 15 and a new « separatism » law – Liberation

After Abaya at schoolGabriel Attal tackles the wearing of the veil in young people. The Renaissance Party, led by the former tenant of Matignon, does not want to be outdone, and paid his ecot on Tuesday 20 May to the debate on the Islamist « entrism » that the government prioritizes in a report to be published this Wednesday, in the form of a series of proposals around political Islam.

Among the tracks of the presidential party, a ban on veil in public space for minors under the age of fifteen or the vote of a « second separatism law»» After that adopted in 2021indicates AFP, confirming information from Parisian.

These announcements were made public the day before the publication of a report on the Muslim Brotherhood commissioned by the government. A text that points a « Threat to national cohesion » with the development of Islamism « from below « at the level of municipalities. The report, which documents what the Elysée and Bruno Retailleau describe as « threat »must be examined this Wednesday in the Defense Council.

The authors of the report are particularly concerned with a « rigorization of religious practice « with a « Explosion in the number of young girls wearing an Abaya and the massive and visible increase in little girls wearing the veil ». A phenomenon that affects young girls « sometimes (aged) 5-6 years ». The movement seems « Appears supported by a powerful Wahhabo-Salafist networkAlso notes the text.

Consequently, the Renaissance party proposes « For minors under the age of 15, to prohibit the wearing of the veil in public space, in particular because it seriously affects human-female equality and child protection».

Gabriel Attal’s party, which will hold a thematic convention on sovereign issues on Monday, wishes in particular to establish « A crime of constraint at the wearing of the veil against parents who would force their minor young girls to wear the veil « .

Renaissance also advocates the adoption of a « Second separatism law called law against Islamist entrism« , After that adopted in 2021, carried by the Minister of the Interior of the time, Gérald Darmanin. « This law has been a fundamental stone and it is the first time that the State has attacked this challenge so clearly »detail members of Renaissance with the Parisian.

This new text will thus aim to establish a « crime of communitarianism which will complete the offense of separatism »,, « Sanctioning the appeal to refuse the laws of the Republic or the desire to impose in a territory or an association of the rules contrary to those of the Republic ».
