Portugal Bans Women From Wearing Full-Face Coverings in Public, With Violators Facing Fines of Up to €3000

Portugal has introduced a new law banning the wearing of face coverings designed to conceal a person’s identity in public spaces, a move widely viewed as targeting Muslim women who wear the burka or niqab.

Under the new “burka law,” anyone caught covering their face could be fined between €150 and €3,000. However, exemptions apply for medical, professional, artistic and weather-related reasons, as well as coverings worn in places of worship, diplomatic missions and on aircraft.

The law also makes it an offence to force another person to cover their face because of their gender, religion, age or origin.

Portuguese President António José Seguro defended the measure, saying the face is central to human identity and communication and describing an uncovered face as an important pillar of social trust.

The legislation was approved by parliament in July after being proposed by the right-wing Chega party and backed by the centre-right Social Democratic Party. While right-wing and far-right lawmakers supported it, left-wing parties opposed the measure.

Critics, including legal groups and left-wing parties, have warned that the law could be unconstitutional and fuel Islamophobia. Portugal now joins several European countries, including France, Belgium, Austria and Denmark, that have introduced restrictions on full-face coverings in public.

Wearing nonsense in the name of religion..

Isn’t that a self torture ?


They hide all sorts of things in that veil, while the male ones hide under it to cause mayhem

This is a sane country, good move

The US needs to be next on that list. And that should include everyone who would cover their faces at protests or matches in public spaces. 🥱🥱

This is the right step in the right direction. If you don't like it go to Afghanistan

These Westerners would be trying to appear political correct

That's where their problem is.

Afghanistan has legalized beating women and treating women like personal properties. Did any Muslim community oppose them

They would be forming right in another man's country

Portugal is waking up. They are not late though.

The writing is on the wall, Europe is for Jesus alone.

If you're not happy go to Mecca

I want Germany to do the same...

Way to go
If you can’t abide go back to your country

Ban it even in their bedrooms, if they want to continue to wear full body mask or facial mask in the name of religion, let them go back to their Muslim countries or head to Saudi Arabia or Iran, it's a simple thing na, haba

They can go to Iran. I think Iranians are many here. Awon set terrorist lovers

Many countries all over the world are waking up against Islam. Nice one Portugal

very good move, if you so much love to practice your religion go Afghanistan

Freedom for the oppressed

Why are there no churches in Saudi Arabia

😂😂😂😁😁😁😆😆😆

Awon Iranians at heart Nigerians by birth.

Nice move!!!

Cover your face all you want when in za oza room. In the public, you must open your face if there's nothing to hide. It's public for a reason.

UK is definitely Next

They are already at their wits end and are seething
over the Jihadists violence and are enraged by the utter disrespect for their values

What is unacceptable should not be accepted

Very good.

I wish every other country should follow suit.
If you don't want other men to see your wife's face, let her stay in your home permanently.

Noted.

At least, we know who is walking on the road.

I won't be surprised to hear tomorrow that clueless Nigerian Muslims are protesting in Kano for this

Gbam. Wear it at home. If u want sharia go to Afghanistan

This is a welcome development.

Things I love to hear.

Islamic fundamentalists have been collecting left, right and centre in the past months. Not a good time to be a terrorist sympathizer.

Meanwhile, the law should be promulgated in all of Europe. Any ijiot who doesn’t like it should relocate to Afghanistan.

Aren't there indigenous Muslims in that country? If yes, then that law infringes on their right

Just don't fkn know why this religion is a problem to the whole world...

Portugal is a racist Cesspool. Why will they ban full face covering in this day and time. I thought it was only Argentina that still practice modern racism against Asians and Africans.
Ekpa nairalanders come and defend your Ronaldo country.
Watch how they come for me even when dem know say I dey refer toPortugal / EU failed immigration policy.

Islam is being beaten left and right. That shows you how the world view them.
I don't like any religion but you see Islam, stay away from it
