Italy to ban Burkas

Italy's ruling party, Brothers of Italy, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has introduced a bill to ban burqas and niqabs in public spaces. This legislation aims to combat what the government describes as “cultural separatism” and religious radicalization. The proposed ban is part of a broader initiative to address concerns related to Islamic face coverings and is seen as a significant move in Italy's political landscape.
