(Sweden Herald) The Christian Democrats leader Ebba Busch wants the burka and niqab to be completely banned in public environments.
“One should be able to meet in real life if one is on the street, if one shops on the market, in the ICA store or takes the children to the health center. Then I do not want to meet anyone who has a sign on their entire face,” she says to Aftonbladet.
The ban is to include public places such as streets, squares, shopping centers and healthcare facilities.
According to Busch, the niqab and burka are an expression of a strict interpretation of Islam that is incompatible with Swedish values.
