The goal is to fight the “enclaves” affected by “fundamentalism”
The right-wing Fratelli d’Italia (FdI) party, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has presented a bill against “Islamic fundamentalism” which provides for a ban on the use of veils covering the entire face in public places.
Is the text signed by MPs Sara Kelany? who is the daughter of an immigrant from Egypt, a country with a Muslim majority?, Galeazzo Bignami, group leader of FdI in the Chamber, and Francesco Filini.
“It is necessary to counter the emergence of enclaves where Sharia is applied [lei islâmica]and not Italian legislation, and where Islamic fundamentalism flourishes”, explained Kelany.
The text establishes a ban on “full veils”, such as the niqab, which leaves only the eyes visible, or the burqa, which covers the entire face, in public places, offices, schools and universities, under penalty of fines of 300 to 3 thousand euros (from R$1,900 to R$19,000).
The project also provides for the regulation of financing for mosques and more severe sanctions against forced marriages: those who promote marriages by deception will be punished with sentences of two to seven years in prison, and no more than one to five years, and those who resort to violence or threats to force someone to marry, even outside Italy, risk four to ten years in prison.
“I am the daughter of Muslims, born and raised in Italy, with the Bible and the Koran on the same shelf: my father told us that if we had not studied, we daughters would never have been free. This is the moderate Islam that we must protect and that radical Islam harms”, added the deputy.
The Meloni government has a large majority in the House and Senate and, if it accepts the bill, it should have no difficulty approving it. .
