Portugal's False Right Undermines Freedoms
Portugal bans burqa and niqab in public spaces from today, with fines up to €3,000. The law also punishes coercion to wear full veils.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
Portugal has implemented a ban on the use of the burqa and niqab in public places, with fines that can reach €3,000. The measure also includes prison sentences for those who coerce others into wearing the full veil.
## Full Veil Ban in Portugal
From today, the use of the burqa and niqab is prohibited in public spaces in Portugal. The new regulation, published by **El Español**, establishes fines of up to **€3,000** for those who infringe the law. This measure, which seeks to limit the visibility of full religious symbols, also includes penalties for those who exert pressure or force another person to wear the full veil.
## Implications of the Regulation
The Portuguese legislation not only sanctions those who wear the full veil but also penalizes coercion. This means that individuals who attempt to force others to cover their face or entire body with this type of clothing will face prison sentences. The measure comes into effect at a time when the debate on integration and security in Europe remains open, and Portugal thus joins other countries that have adopted similar regulations.
