The Italian government led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has adopted a decree-law banning the wearing of the veil in educational institutions. This decision was made during the Council of Ministers, and the decree takes immediate effect upon its publication in the Official Journal.
This measure comes just months before the general elections in Italy, in a context where Giorgia Meloni’s party feels challenged by the identity party Futuro Nazionale.
