According to the mayor’s office in Cannes on Saturday, an administrative court in Nice rejected these proposals. According to the court regulation it is consistent with the rules on secularism. They prohibit anyone “to his religious beliefs take precedence over the common principles governing relations between public authorities and private persons” – reminded the judge.
He added that in the context of current in France a state of emergency and the recent attacks, mainly from July 14 in Nice, “wearing distinctive clothing, other than ordinary swimsuit, can be interpreted as something more than just a simple a sign of religiosity. “

Mer Villeneuve-Loubet Lionnel Luca rejected these accusations, insisting that the ban aims to ensure that the region marked by assassinations does not disturb public order.
“the Republic is not about to come to the beach and clothing to show their religious beliefs, especially that they are false beliefs, because this religion requires nothing” in this issue – said the politician the Republicans.
According to him, a lover burkini “grow discrimination, they isolate themselves in the ghetto, they are guilty of discrimination.”
in Cannes regulation on burkini entered into force on 28 July. The ban is valid until the end of August. Women dressed in burkini be asked to change into another costume or to leave the beach. If they do not, they will threaten a fine of 38 euros.
Mer Cannes called burkini “symbol Islamic extremism “and he estimated that the suit may be the reason for clashes at a time when France is the target of attacks.
