According to a tweet, a PP member voted against banning the burqa in Lleida
How can voting against a burqa ban be justified? According to a tweet shared on social media, a PP member in Lleida has done just that, and an image of their vote is circulating as an anomaly: someone from the party opposing a restrictive measure on the garment. The scene has inadvertently peine the old debate about the burqa and who decides what can and cannot be worn.
A vote that doesn't align with the PP's usual discourse
A PP member in Lleida voted against banning it, according to a tweet shared on social media. For those who attribute a hardline stance to the PP on certain customs, the gesture is jarring, and significantly so.
Why is the burqa compared to leggings?
In the forum, a comparison has been made with other garments. If leggings or other tight clothing are not banned, why should the burqa be banned? This is the question posed by a participant, and so far, no one has answered with a firm criterion.
Accusations of lukewarmness against the party
Some argue that the problem isn't the specific vote, but the pattern: a lukewarm and fickle party that defends one thing today and the opposite tomorrow, depending on the wind. Others go further and lump the PP and PSOE together, that PPSOE some wish were outlawed. And some are already predicting which custom will next receive their silent approval.
