France, Nice also bans the burkinis. But the full costume around you do not see – The Republic

Nice – Soldiers here too, with the machine gun barrel pointed down. Take a couple of looks distracted by the tourists under the canopies, none by runners, no bathers. It is never returned to normal on the Promenade des Anglais, not in the day of dell’86esima victim of the massacre of July 14, has never interrupted the pilgrimage to the memorial flowers. But also in Nice the news of the day gives Christian Estrosi, mayor and president of the Métropole which brings together 49 municipalities of the French Riviera. His letter to Prime Minister Manuel Valls, with a request for an anti-burkinis national law calling for “the preservation of our social pact and our nation”, had received interim answer, so here it is the new “arrêté”, the Control Ordinance full coverage in the beach. And make thirteen across the coast, from Menton to Théoule sur Mer, passing the leader Cannes, the enchanted pine forests of Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat, the bay of Villefranche that does not escape the invasion of the cruise ships, the cliffs of Eze-living room and the gardens of Beaulieu. Plus four other municipalities in the Var, near Saint-Tropez, an hour and a half drive from the first front line to the free costume. Calculate the real impact of the ordinances is utopian enterprise. Empirical evidence – a patrol around the entire French Riviera along a morning – ends with zero sightings. Nothing burkinis under the curves of Jean les Pins and all the stone shoreline that brings in Cagnes sur Mer, even the veils to the Paloma beach and the Roquebrune Cap d’Ail and coves. The account of the fines imposed by 38 euro last week does not reach the dozen but the border between the deterrent effect and ghost hunting is too weak. “They had not seen before and are not seen now – explains Christophe, owner of a kiosk in Cap Martin – and I do not see what can change us workers, or tourists, or to all the French people. If we want to Freedom, we must be consistent with our principles. “

a garble a surreal situation, with bans that multiply the common and the full costume that you do not see around, comes the question of suspension of the order to the court of Villeneuve Loubet, presented by the League human rights and the Collective against Islamophobia. Pass the appeal, the domino effect could clear the measures and report the matter to the starting box.

There remain three municipalities, between sixteen overlooking the sea in the Alpes Maritimes region, resist the temptation prohibitions. Among them is Antibes, where “les flics” not patrol the beaches but guard the two entrances of the old Marché Couverte. Yannick, from his counter Pasteque and fruit in season, you feel safe as well: “As long as control who wants to come all covered to the grocery store, I’m fine. But if you go to sea, you do as well as you think. And although someone, as they say, wants to provoke with burkinis, I say, so what? What does cause as well. “
