Jordi Turull, secretary general of Junts, has stated on RAC1 that «The Islamic veil has nothing to do with religion.»and who oppose the ban«for a matter of rights and freedoms«Junts accept the ban on the burka and niqab in the street as «a matter of security». They also accept banning the hijab in schools.«because girls can't decide«They haven't said anything about the institute.

The Catalan right-wing conservative party voted in Parliament against any ban on Islamic veils. Nor has she presented, nor does she intend to, any proposal milder than Silvia Orriols's.. The rest of the groups, except for the PP and VOX, They supported all Islamic veils everywhere. and rejected Junts' stance as complicit with the far right.

The veil is «right and freedom», says Junts

In the session of the Parliament of Catalonia on 22 May The motion presented by Catalan Alliance to ban all Islamic veils in public spaces was debated.. David Seldoni, on behalf of Junts, told Silvia Orriols that talking about the veil is «generate exclusion, hatred and Catalanophobia«. It warns that taking a stand against the veil will make «Muslims are not separatists«.

He also claims that it is best to ban the veil in schools (he does not say secondary schools) because «We don't want the girls to suffer impositions.«Remarks that it is for «to promote rights, not to exclude anyone». As an undesirable case of exclusion, he cites Kosovo as an example, where the veil is banned in schools despite it having been a Muslim-majority country for centuries.

Regarding the right for women to bathe in public swimming pools while dressed (in force in Catalonia for two years to avoid excluding Muslim women), they say they do not interfere with how anyone dresses. They only insist that it be «in swimwear»because«It's very difficult to know if they're covering up for illness, shame or coercion.«.

Majority support for hijab, niqab i burqa

Junts expressed doubts and discomfort with the debate over the ambiguous acceptance of some of Aliança Catalana's postulates. PP and VOX voted in favour of AC's proposal, but together they only account for 28 votes out of 135. The remaining groups voted in favour of Islamic veils and criticised Junts' position.

According to Joan Ignasi Elena, Junts« position does not correspond to that of a party of state because "breaks the grand alliances and centrality«According to Pilar Castillejo of the CUP, the position of Junts «benefits the far right». The governing party, the PSC, believes that seeking to ban the veil seeks «to break the social harmony»and that«It is outside international law, human rights and the constitution.«.
