Shafaqna English– French President Macron claimed earlier this week that his country is committed to preserving the fundamental rights of its Muslim citizens and residents, yet Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau acknowledged his desire to see a ban on wearing Hijab at universities.
Retailleau made his new and unsurprisingly controversial remarks while appearing on Thursday (01 May 2025) on “Les Grandes Gueules,” a popular talk show on RMC.
He acknowledged his desire to see a ban wearing Hijab at universities amid protests and frustration over France’s restrictions on religious freedom, including wearing Hijab in sports and schools.
“I want that, because I clearly see that there is a form of Islamism that has nothing to do with the traditional Muslim faith. There is an Islamism that is trying to plant its flag, its own values, which in my view include the subjugation of women to men, and we must be wary of it,” he said.
