批评人士表示，该法令还禁止在学校穿戴布卡，这表明意大利总理在明年的大选前感到惊恐。人权活动人士指责意大利政府加剧了分裂性言论，企图在明年大选前拉拢极右翼选民，此前该政府通过了一项旨在限制教室中新抵达移民人数并禁止在学校穿戴布卡（burqa）和尼卡布（niqab）的法令。
Critics say decree also banning burqa in schools shows Italian PM running scared ahead of next year’s vote Rights campaigners have accused the Italian government of ramping up divisive rhetoric in an attempt to court far-right voters ahead of next year’s general election after it passed a decree aimed at capping the number of newly arrived migrants in classrooms and banning the burqa and niqab in schools.
领导极右翼“意大利兄弟党”的总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼表示，她的政府批准了她所称的“常识性措施，这些措施不会分裂，而是真正有助于融入”。
The prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, who leads the far-right Brothers of Italy party, said her government had approved what she called “commonsense measures that do not divide but genuinely help to integrate”.
