Detox. No, the burkini is not forbidden in Morocco

While supporters of the burkini believe it allows women who do not wish to expose their bodies to go to swimming pools, its opponents see the garment as an Islamist provocation that does not respect French secularism.

Some of its detractors, such as the police unionist Bruno Attal, also invested in the legislative elections by the party of Éric Zemmour, even suggest that this Islamic garment would be banned in Morocco. On Twitter, the candidate shares a photo of a panel on which inscriptions in Arabic and French indicate that the burkini is prohibited to access the swimming pool. ” To live in Europe, we will soon be moving to Morocco. We walk on the head “, concludes the policeman.

This photo is no stranger to Déintox. Indeed, we had already met her in 2016 when the burkini was already talking about him. As we explained then, this type of display does exist in Morocco, since it is found in front of certain water parks, which ban this full swimsuit for health or safety reasons.

Specific regulations that are not representative of the laws in force in the country, or the wearing of the burkini is not prohibited. Searching the networks, we find that the sign, and its misleading interpretation, emerge each time the burkini resurfaces in the debate.
