An administrative court has overturned the burkini permit in the French city of Grenoble. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin had filed a complaint after the city council voted by a narrow majority ten days ago to change the swimming pool rules.
This stated that in the future public baths may also be visited in burkinis, Muslim full-body bathing suits and “topless”. French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin filed a lawsuit and was pleased with the outcome on Wednesday evening. That the license had been revoked was “excellent news”.
Access for all versus Islamization
There used to be heated discussions about it. Supporters’ arguments include, for example, that access to public offerings should be made possible for everyone and that women should have the freedom to make decisions. Opponents, on the other hand, speak of a creeping Islamization and that Burkinis are violating equality before the law.
France sees itself as a country that strictly separates state and religion. Dealing with religious symbols in public is always a controversial topic, especially in connection with Islam.
