A debate in the House of Representatives on the so-called burqa ban, where the PVV has been asking for for a long time. A group of women who all wear a nikab appears and this causes commotion. First they are refused at the entrance, later they can go in for the debate and sit in the public gallery. Several MPs criticize this. Voor Nederland says it is not a sight that there are women in nikab in the public gallery. The women say they feel oppressed by the men who say they shouldn't wear nikab. In the vote, a large majority agreed to introduce the burqa ban. Burqas, nikab's, balaclavas and full-face helmets are prohibited in education, public transport, hospitals and in government buildings. You can wear it on the street. Beware of the Senate 26 juni 2018 also agrees to the law, the new rules per 1 augustus 2019 into force.
