Portugal enforces the Burqa Law after right-wing pressure
Portugal has enacted a law banning face coverings in public places, in response to pressure from the far right, with the aim of prohibiting clothing that conceals facial features, including hijabs and niqabs. The law stipulates fines ranging from 150 to 3,000 euros for offenders, with exceptions for health, professional, religious reasons, weather conditions, as well as at religious sites and diplomatic missions. Opponents of the law argue that it threatens women's rights, while supporters describe it as a measure to support identity and social interaction.
