To Grenoble, in Isère, the municipal Council will deliberateMonday, May 16, on the authorization of the burkini in municipal swimming pools. If it is voted, the prefect of Isère threatens to seize the court to cancel the measure.
It is a garment that continues to crystallize the debate. The burkini could soon be authorized in the municipal swimming pools of Grenoble (Isere). In the streets of the capital of the Alps, the question divides. “I’m against”testifies a resident. “I think it’s great”assures another. This authorization of the burkini will be the subject of a deliberation of the municipal CouncilMonday, May 16. On the one hand, citizens’ associations, certain feminist activists, and especially the mayor of Grenoble Éric Piolle (Europe Ecology-The Greens)want the pool to be accessible to everyone, regardless of attire.
The opposition is against it, as well as some members of the majority. “The return of religion to public space and political debate is not a good thing”believes Jerome Lordanoffdeputy national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens. The Isère prefecture has already announced thatShe would go to the administrative court to have any burkini authorization cancelled.
