In France, certain topics regularly resurface in public and political discussions, with one of them being the wearing of the veil. On Sunday, August 30, Jean-Philippe Tanguy, a member of the far-right National Rally (RN) party, stated on BFMTV that if his party were to come to power in 2027, it would impose sanctions on the "wearing of the veil" in public spaces. This proposal echoes a long-standing policy platform of the RN, particularly associated with the party's leader, Marine Le Pen. Morocco World News noted that this idea has been part of the RN's platform during the last three presidential elections, suggesting it is a recurring theme in the party's rhetoric. Similarly, the German newspaper Die Tageszeitung observed that Le Pen has frequently used the issue of banning the veil as a central campaign promise. The paper also pointed out that despite Marine Le Pen's efforts to modernize and present the RN with a more polished image, the party's core ideologies—many of which were established by her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen—remain deeply rooted in far-right principles. The proposed measure, which would be put to a public referendum on "Islamic ideology" if the RN wins power, had been discussed within the party. This discussion took place during a period of uncertainty about who the party would choose as its candidate for the upcoming elections. The debate reflects the ongoing internal and external scrutiny of the RN's policies, particularly those related to religious symbols and freedom of expression in public life.
