Right and far right asked again this Thursday for more "supervision", via a law, on the wearing of the burkini in swimming pools, after the suspension on Wednesday of the authorization in Grenoble to wear the burkini in municipal swimming pools.
The new swimming pool regulations, carried by the majority of the environmental mayor of Grenoble Eric Piolle, were initially to come into force on June 1.
The city's administrative court suspended the provision authorizing the wearing of the burkini, considering that it "seriously undermined the principle of neutrality of public service".
A decision hailed by the rights
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin immediately welcomed the "excellent news".
Eric Piolle, he announced that the city would "appeal before the Council of State".
For Marine Le Pen (RN), the burkini is an "Islamist propaganda outfit".
“We remain vigilant and our deputies will propose a law to ban it definitively”, tweeted the presidential finalist.
Excellent news: following our appeal, the administrative court suspends the deliberation of the town hall of #Grenoble authorizing the "burkini" in municipal swimming pools thanks to the tools of the separatism law wanted by @EmmanuelMacron!

“The Islamists want to conquer us and the left is an accomplice today”, also denounced on France 2 Jordan Bardella, president of the RN.
“Obviously we need a big law” and “this is one of the subjects that we will bring to the National Assembly” after the legislative elections in June, he added.
For his part, the president of LR Christian Jacob estimated on RTL that “using public services like the swimming pool to assert religious concerns is the door open to everything”.
“We are in the world of Islamo-leftists, of communitarians”, he continued, pleading to “frame by law” the wearing of the burkini.
LR deputy Eric Ciotti had tabled a bill in May aimed at banning the burkini in public swimming pools in the name of secularism.
Christian Jacob “wants us to take it back”.
On the side of the majority, MP Pierre-Yves Bournazel (Horizons), close to former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, also considered on Radio J that "the burkini is not the best promotion of equality between women and men”.
Public swimming pools are “a place of neutrality” and “if necessary, the law will have to decide”.
