I don't sense derision in Le Figaro's Ce que dit la mission parlementaire sur la burqa.

At the bottom of the page there is an image with what the various parties say about the proposal:


  • UMP: We think that condemning the full-body veil is an excellent way to fight islamophobia
  • PS: The PS is not in favour of a circumstantial, unenforceable law, which would not be effective and might prove contrary to constitutional principles
  • Nouveau Centre: We propose a parliamentary resolution defining the "French [way of] living together" in a global context
  • Le Pen: A law doesn't seem necessary to me. Police regulations would suffice
  • MoDem: There are people in Sarkozy's entourage who dream of using this issue for electoral gain
  • Greens: This hurts me humanely, as a woman and as a feminist. However, I don't know how to resolve this quandary
  • PCF: A law against the Burqa would do nothing but stigmatise a community whose women are the ones who suffer pain
