69. do not specifically target the full veil but prohibits "concealment of the face." Men too.

Translated from Le Monde earlier today.
The text of the keeper, Michele Alliot-Marie , largely inspired by a bill the patron of UMP deputies, Jean-Francois Cope , do not specifically target the full veil but prohibits "concealment of the face."

You wrongly say
"When we are talking about a law which fines women for wearing a veil, we are defining an offense which ONLY women can commit, and for which ONLY women will be punished."
"Again, will it be legal for me, a man, to wear a veil in France if I want to? Yep."

Wrong. Prohibiting full concealment of the face.
