The conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), ruling party in Bavaria, want to pass a new law making it illegal for anyone to wear a burqa in Germany.  “The law [on a burqa ban] should be quickly passed by the government,” Ilse Aigner, finance minister in Bavaria told Die Welt. “It is first and foremost about showing one’s face. It’s about living together as a society and seeing one another,” said Aigner. “It doesn’t fit to our society to hide oneself, and it contradicts our idea of sexual equality.” The CSU politician said that the law would also apply to tourists coming to Germany.
