Emmanuel Macron's political party has introduced a proposal to ban girls under the age of 15 from wearing Muslim headscarves in public spaces. This initiative arose from a governmental meeting focused on addressing political Islamism in France, following a detailed report commissioned by Macron that warned of the Muslim Brotherhood's threats to national unity and secularism. Gabriel Attal, head of Macron's party, emphasized the importance of protecting gender equality and children's rights. The proposals have sparked debate, facing criticism for potentially undermining Muslim communities and secular principles in France.
"Gabriel Attal proposed a ban on minors under 15 wearing the veil in public spaces, citing the need for gender equality and child protection."
"The report found the Muslim Brotherhood poses a threat to national cohesion in France, risk undermining republican institutions and societal fabric."
