She also proposes limiting the number of foreign students in Italian educational institutions and making Italian language lessons mandatory for parents of foreign students who struggle to integrate.Meloni emphasized that anyone wanting to build a future in Italy should learn the language, understand the culture, and respect the country&#8217;s rules. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-electric-vehicle-push-might-stall-out-due-to-new-legislation\/\" title=\"New ... could hinder Biden&#039;s electric vehicle push.\">proposed legislation aims<\/a> to criminalize forcing individuals to conceal their faces, with penalties including up to two years in prison, fines, and a ban on obtaining Italian citizenship. Meloni&#8217;s initiative follows similar bans in France and Belgium,and restrictions in Austria. She argues that the measures are necessary to protect national culture, prevent Italian children from feeling marginalized, and uphold gender equality. The proposals cover various forms of face coverings such as burqas, niqabs, and hijabs, with the intent to require face visibility in public spaces, especially schools. The legislation is pending approval in italy&#8217;s parliament, which has 60 days to enact it following submission.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is proposing a ban on burqas in her country\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<p>Meloni said she also wants to cap the number of foreign students able to enroll in Italian schools.<\/p>\n<p>She has additionally proposed making Italian language lessons mandatory for parents of foreign students having \u201cserious difficulties integrating into the school system,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/italy-meloni-ban-burqas-niqabs-ban-schools-862c88cc1aa98560ba2b3f7bf31ae622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, anyone who comes to Italy and wants to build their future here must learn our language, understand our culture, and respect our rules,\u201d she said at a rally of the youth wing of her conservative party<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the only serious way to welcome them,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n<p>Once an official proposal is sent to Italy\u2019s parliament, it has 60 days to be approved.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 Meloni announces BURQA BAN in schools and caps on foreign students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Italy, nobody, in the name of tradition, can decide that a young woman must hide herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEquality between men and women is not negotiable!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally one good decision!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yuNO1pSu6u\">pic.twitter.com\/yuNO1pSu6u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Global Dissident (@GlobalDiss) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GlobalDiss\/status\/2101686008110576070?\">September 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>France and Belgium currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/switzerland-outlaws-islamic-veils-in-crackdown-of-terrorism\/\" title=\"Switzerland outlaws Islamic veils in crackdown of terrorism\">ban face coverings<\/a> in public.
