The prohibition of the Islamic Veil in official French competitions resulted in a beginning of controversy over prestigious athletes, while in the government he killed the dispute voice inside and supported a proposal of the law to formalize it in the parliamentary process.
“The government is lined up,” said the Internal minister Bruno RetailleauOn the European Radio 1 it was recalled that prime minister François Bayrou, ended last week with differences in the Cabinet and said he would put the Agenda of the National Assembly Agend of the law, which has received the Senate approved, to be adopted.
In current regulations, it is the federations that determine whether women are authorized that the veil can be brought to competitions, such as any other sign of ideological or religious prejudice and in the recent years of some of them (that of football in 2016, basketball in 2022, which banned it at 2023 or Rugby in 2024) was banned.
Some exceptions are handball, athletics or Bádminton, though that situation will change if the law is approved.
The Judoca Teddy DinerFive times Olympic champion, it broke this debate last week at a RMC station broadcast, complaining that “at the time of France lost things, and most of all the focus was put into things that didn’t have to do it.”
“I will also say that we need to think more about equality than to enjoy a single and same religion,” he added in reference to the Muslim.
A few words that raised the next day to the same radio station were the reaction of former World Boxing Champion Mahyar Monshipour, nationalized French, who was born and grew up in Iran, and wanted to remember his own personal experience.
“To Teddy, I can tell her in the face of her 140 kilograms: ‘You don’t know the topic, don’t mess with your daughter’s shirt.
For Mishipour, “allowed young women to conquer themselves because they raised the desire of men at that moment of freedom to sport, to kill their independence.”
The exboxer acknowledged that the mood to strictly apply secularism to the sport was “very Franco-French”, and that both do not happen abroad.
But the Belo’s ban on all competitions is still defending because those who are willing to allow it “do not know the danger because they are playing fire. But when they are burning, they will wake up and late.”
