VVD pushes for statutory ban on face coverings at protests; D66 resists
The VVD wants a ban on face-covering clothing at demonstrations written into law as soon as possible, Trouw reports. Coalition party D66, civil servants, and mayors are opposed.Since, in principle, the parliamentary majority supports a face-covering clothing ban, the VVD could possibly get its way. If she could, VVD’s MP Mlaire Matens-America would add it to a bill with adjustments to the right to demonstrate, set to be sent to parliament early next year.
