Police unions were furious. “Nobody can understand how police officers
can be attacked…and in the end the people arrested are released before the
officers themselves,” said David-Olivier Reverdy, of the local Alliance
union.
“The niqab, according to laws that we enforce but don’t make, is
forbidden. We are simply applying the law,” he told France Info.
Yannick of the Unité SGP-Police union, said: “This affair underlines
the difficulty we have in applying the law. We get the feeling that many
would prefer us to shut our eyes to avoid any incidents.
“In short, you can make police checks but don’t make waves, otherwise
you’ll carry the can. It all smacks of hypocrisy and doesn’t make police
work in the field any easier.”
Marseille’s deputy mayor Nora Présozi, supported the police, saying: “If
we want to avoid an explosive situation, the police must imperatively
enforce the law.
“Many women wearing the burka are looking for confrontation with the
police. By doing so, they are conveying a poor image of Islam.”

interior ministry circular advises police not to intervene in or around “places
of worship”.
Around 300 women have been issued fines of up to 150 euros since the face veil
ban took effect on April 1, 2011.
Anyone found guilty of forcing a woman to wear a full veil faces a 30,000-euro
fine and a year in prison.
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy who backed the ban described the full
veil as a “sign of enslavement”.
Police estimate that around 2,000 women among France’s five-million strong
Muslim population wear the full Islamic veil.
