He's not wrong about it being a political statement, but the message derived is...questionable.

One of the many reasons I dislike the French.

Isn't Valls a Catalan?

[Green Line]

He's correct.  The Burkini is a symbol of oppression, not a fashion statement.

[ag]

The French tend to insist that speaking French is a statement. I think they should be prohibited from speaking French when abroad. If they come to Mexico, they should be speaking English, like everybody else.

We should ban Valls for being incompatible with French values.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Valls is pandering piece of sh*t, ed. #49856.

[Хahar 🤔]

This is correct; religious freedom is incompatible with French values.

so pleased to see that the burka has become the most pressing issue facing France. God bless this exceptionally wise government!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Well its nice to know that we aren't the only large European country to be a total human disaster right now.

[Intell]

Honestly, I see no problem with the Burkina, the niqab or burqa on the other hand should be banned.

Brave Manuel Valls and General Flabny shall save France from the mortal threat for the Burkina!

Finally, someone willing to take the Burkina threat head on!



Remember, "he who feeds you, controls you".

He, probably, thinks it is still the Haute Volta.

I disagree with banning clothes items, but agree with Vall's general sentiment. It's nice to see a western country that actually values its own culture rather than the self-hate we see for our own in the US.

American conservatives would hate "French values" though.

tbf 'french values' is mostly a polished way of saying 'blicks and moslems out'/'make france white again'

I just mean it's good to see a people proud of their own country. It doesn't make a difference either way how American conservatives feel about it.

I agree.  I can't remember the last time someone dressed in a manner celebrating and honoring real Americans.



Usually they just dress like this...

Funny, how precisely that is what makes a lot of people ashamed of it.

Honestly, I'm beyond shame at this point. I've just given up.

I live in Zell am See, which is a MAGNET for Arabs from the Gulf (thanks, Zell am See tourism department).

Last year, there were 1 million visits from the Arabs, many of them also from very conservative places like Saudi Arabia.

So, I'm pretty used already seeing them on the streets around here. The summer months are extremely horrible (but not just because of the veiled Arabs, but also because of the annoying Germans and the Dutch who crowd the streets. The last weeks were terrible on the road, especially when it's raining. Traffic. Traffic. TRAFFIC !).
