The controversy has had because of government cohesion. While many municipalities have recently issued orders prohibiting the wearing of Burkini – an Islamic swimwear designed to hide the female body at the beach – a lively debate is immediately born within the political class. Including the highest peak of the state, where the Prime Minister has publicly stated net “support” to the mayors who took such decisions.
