Ghost of a flea

Speaking to Le Figaro, Gerin today stated that "One thing is certain, in public areas the use of the burqa will be absolutely forbidden". The report by the commission, which opens the road to a parliamentary resolution (a non-binding text) on the issue, will be officially presented next week. Gerin, a communist MP, also stated his support for a general law against the burqa. Law which, he later specified during an interview by radio RTL, is supported by the larger part of commission members. In his opinion the burqa is nothing other than the tip of an iceberg in the black tide of radicalism".
