أعلن وزير الهجرة الفرنسي "إيريك بيسون" أنه يسعى لجعل عدم ارتداء المرأة المسلمة للنقاب شرطًا للحصول على الجنسية الفرنسية، وشرطًا في الحصول على تصريح إقامة طويلة الأجل.

جاء ذلك في غضون مناقشته للجنة من صانعي القوانين، وهم على مشارف انتهاء مدة الستة أشهر التي مُنحت لبحث إمكانية اتخاذ قرار رسمي بمنع النقاب من الحياة العامة.

وقد أشار إلى أنه سواء تم التوصل إلى قانون يمنع من ارتداء النقاب أو لا، فإنه سيسعى لمنع أي منتقبة من الحصول على الجنسية أو تصريح إقامة طويل الأجل، وأشار إلى أنه يريد أن يؤكد أن النقاب دليل على عدم الرغبة في الاندماج في الثقافة الفرنسية، وعائق أمام الحصول على الجنسية.

Minister says burqa-style veils impede citizenship

PARIS — France's immigration minister said Wednesday that he wants the wearing of Muslim veils that cover the face and body to be grounds for denying citizenship and long-term residence.

Eric Besson said he planned to take "concrete measures" regarding such veils, which are worn by a small minority of women in France but have become the object of a parliamentary inquiry into whether a ban should be imposed.

Besson spoke during a hearing before the panel of lawmakers as their nearly six-month inquiry draws to a close.

Besson said he believed a formal ban on veils that cover the face and body seemed to him "unavoidable," with a ban in public services as a minimum step.

Whether such veils are banned or not, he said he intends to personally move forward to ensure that women wearing such veils and seeking French nationality or residence cards are denied.

"I want the wearing of the full veil to be systematically considered as proof of insufficient integration into French society, creating an obstacle to gaining (French) nationality," he said.

He said he would advise prefects, the highest state representative in the various French regions, that the wearing of such veils is a motive for not delivering   10  -year residence cards.

Besson said he was prepared to put the measures before parliament to make them law. In November, Besson ordered a nationwide debate on the French identity, to conclude by the end of January with possible measures.

Conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy is the force behind both the national identity campaign and the targeting of full-body veils, which he has said are not "welcome." Critics claim he is playing to traditional far-right fears of immigration, particularly by Muslims.

There is concern that some immigrants and citizens, including members of its Muslim population — at some  5 million the largest in western Europe — are failing to fully integrate and even defying the nation's secular values. A law was passed in  2004 banning Muslim headscarves from classrooms.
