Segons informa The Jewish News, Maheen Kamran, una estudiant de medicina de només 18 anys, ha estat escollida regidora a l’Ajuntament de Burnley amb una campanya on va defensar la creació d’espais públics segregats per a homes i dones musulmans. Com a candidata independent, Kamran va guanyar l’escó del barri de Burnley Central East, al comtat anglès de Lancashire, amb 1.357 vots, superant el representant de Reform UK.

Kamran va centrar la seva campanya en dos eixos: denunciar el conflicte a Gaza i reclamar espais públics segregats per a homes i dones musulmans. Va afirmar que «les dones musulmanes no se senten còmodes amb la mescla lliure amb els homes. Podem tenir gimnasos separats o àrees segregades perquè no hagin de renunciar a la salut«.

Aquest discurs ha estat ben rebut per una part de l’electorat, però també ha generat crítiques per promoure una visió no compatible amb els valors de la igualtat de gènere en l’espai públic.

Més canvis en la política local

La victòria de Kamran no ha estat l’únic cas destacat en aquestes eleccions locals a Lancashire. Azhar Ali, antic membre del Partit Laborista expulsat per comentaris antisemites, també ha estat escollit com a independent a Nelson East. A més, Sohail Asghar, candidat del Partit Verd, ha estat elegit a Accrington West i Oswaldtwistle Central. Asghar havia causat controvèrsia a les xarxes socials per comparar Israel amb ISIS.

Problemes pel partit laborista

Segons l’analista Lord Hayward, del Partit Conservador, els resultats mostren que el Partit Laborista té problemes per mantenir el suport de la comunitat musulmana, especialment en zones urbanes amb forta presència d’aquesta població.

Maheen Kamran s’ha convertit en un símbol d’una nova generació de candidats independents amb discurs religiós i identitari, que poden tenir una gran incidència en la política local britànica. Això, segons Hayward, fa que pel Partit Laborista cada cop serà més difícil retenir el vot musulmà en zones amb alta concentració d’electors d’origen immigrant.
