Congress rejects Vox's proposal to ban the burka and niqab in public spaces

Only PP and UPN have supported the proposal of the far-right party. Junts has voted against, but has registered his bill while maintaining the demand for a ban. The PNV sees the need to work on the issue, proposing the creation of a sub-committee.

Members of the Vox Party, today, in Congress.

In the Spanish Congress of Deputies, the bill tabled by the ultra-right-wing Vox party, with the support of the PP, to ban the burka and niqab completely in public spaces was suspended. 

However, the debate is not over. On the one hand, Junts has put forward his own proposal, maintaining the ban, but with softer sanctions. On the other hand, although the PNV has voted against it today, it sees no harm in opening a calm and profound debate on the matter.

We're completing the news.
