A senior member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party has called for a burqa ban and stricter immigration rules for Germany.
Guido Wolf, a senior politician in the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg, made the call in an interview with German daily tabloid newspaper, Bild. He said that those choosing to conceal themselves turn their back on society and refuse to integrate, and those refusing to integrate do not belong in Germany.
Mr. Wolf did concede that husbands have a role to play in that decision, saying:
“For the sake of women forced to hide by their husbands, we must put pressure on those men with sensitive penalties – if necessary by imprisonment.”
Mr. Wolf also spoke about the general migrant crisis. Contradicting the welcoming line taken by his party ally Mrs. Merkel, he called for Germany to take control of immigration and limit the numbers of people entering the country. [Breitbart London] Read more
