French citizenship denied to man with veiled wife
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said the Moroccan man, who had married a French woman, failed to respect the "values of the [French] republic" by forcing his wife to wear a burqa.
President Nicolas Sarkozy's administration today took another shot at the burqa, scoring populist points ahead of France's March elections, say analysts.
France's immigration minister said he is refusing citizenship to a Muslim man who called his wife "an inferior being," and forced her to wear a full veil in public, an announcement that plays well with French public support for a burqa ban.
"He has no place in our country," Prime Minister Francois Fillon told Europe 1 radio, in a decision that comes a week after a French parliamentary commission recommended a partial ban on any veils that cover the face. The ban still needs to be voted on, but it would apply in hospitals and on public transport. France already has bans for wearing headscarves in state schools.
Fillon said the Moroccan man, who had married a French woman, failed to respect the "values of the [French] republic."
"This case is about a religious radical: he imposes the burqa, he imposes the separation of men and women in his own home, and he refuses to shake the hands of women," Fillon said.
The recent acts reflect Sarkozy's efforts to capitalize on anti-burqa sentiment ahead of March's regional election, Arthur Goldhammer, chair the seminar for visiting scholars at Harvard University's Center for European Studies, said in an interview Wednesday.
"Sarokozy is certainly agitating this issue with the upcoming regional election in mind," says Goldhammer, who also maintains the blog French Politics and is on the editorial board of the journal French Politics, Culture, and Society. "He has lost support in the polls from people who formerly voted for him and pledged their allegiance to him because of fairly strong statements he made on illegal immigration."
Just send them all back.
