Nadine Morano, politician and member of the UMP, caused a scene at Gare de l’Est in Paris after seeing a fully veiled woman waiting for a train. “Ranting and thundering,” she called for local police in the train station. The woman was wearing a niqab, and not a burqa as Morano contended. After summoning the police they asked Morano to see identification. She refused to provide identification to the police who did not recognize her and left, “still very angry.”
