Gabriel Attal Propose une Limite d'Âge sur le Port du Voile pour les Mineures

Gabriel Attal, ancien Premier ministre, a recently proposed an age limit to prohibit the wearing of the veil in public for minors under 15 years old, amidst criticism from Rassemblement National's president Jordan Bardella, who accused him of a "180-degree turnaround" on the issue. Attal emphasized the importance of the freedom of adult women to choose to wear the veil, but questioned the autonomy of young girls in that decision. The backdrop of this proposal includes a report highlighting the influence of Islamist ideologies in France and the rising phenomenon of veiling among very young girls. Previously, Attal had implemented a ban on abayas in schools and suggested creating a legal penalty for parents who coerce their daughters into wearing the veil.
