German State of Hesse Re-Ignites Burqa-Debate

12.01.2012

The Christian Democrats (CDU) in the German state of Hesse have reignited the debate about a burqa ban in Germany. CDU-politician Alexander Bauer presented the main ideas of the CDU’s integration policy on Thursday; while the party acknowledges Germany’s immigration reality and the diversity amongst Germany’s population, they are also inclined to impose a ban on full-face veils, as people have to be willing to “show their face” if they live in Germany.
