This Thursday evening, November 30, the municipal council of Anderlecht adopted a motion authorizing the wearing of religious symbols and therefore the veil in its administration.

Georges-Louis Bouchez spoke on the motion, he declared in particular that the situation was “dramatic” and that this decision by the authorities of the Brussels municipality was “an attack on our liberal democracy”.

“The fight for neutrality took years to bring religion home and separate it from the state. Here, we go backwards, we put religion back at the heart of a system and that can only end badly. We must not compromise with democratic principles,” declared the president of the MR, we can read on the website ofSudinfo.

Georges-Louis Bouchez also speaks of “a mixture of electoralism, cowardice and great stupidity”.
