France’s newest burkini debate is a telling example of the toxic post-election climate Opinion | AlexSeale
The mayor of Grenoble wants swimmers to dress how they wish to in the swimming pools of his city, whether that means going topless or in full-body swimsuit.
For Eric Piolle, from the Europe Écologie Les Verts , elected mayor of Grenoble in 2014, authorising the burkini in swimming pools is no religious matter, but one centred on freedom of choice and equality. “Women should be allowed to swim topless or in a burkini,” he said.
It is curious that a woman exposing her breasts should be seen as a triumph for feminism by such persons, but another choosing to cover her legs is not. France is home to more than 6 million Muslims, mostly descendants of its former colonial subjects in North Africa. Sarkozy’s right-wing government also banned full-face coverings anywhere in France, and stood accused by human rights groups of choosing Muslim women to stigmatise.A controversy over this swimwear in 2016 caused France's highest administrative court, the Conseil d'Etat, to set a precedent in law, when it overturned a ban on the burkini swimsuit, which had been brought by the town of Villeneuve-Loubet in southeast France.
