Za zakrivanje obraza na javnih mestih do 600 evrov kazni
Anyone present in a public space must keep their face sufficiently uncovered to allow identification of facial features, according to the draft law. The proposal is part of a new public order and peace bill that would align Slovenia with several European nations that already ban full-face coverings in public. France, Switzerland, Austria and other states have enacted similar restrictions, and Slovenia aims to join them. Interior Minister Franci Matoz said the measure was also motivated by recent violent protests sweeping European cities. The draft increases the financial penalties for non‑compliance. Fines would range from 200 to 600 euros for covering the face. If the covered face is linked to violent behavior, the fine could rise to between 1,500 and 5,000 euros.
Kdor se zadržuje ali giblje na javnem kraju, mora imeti obraz tako razkrit, da je mogoče prepoznati njegove obrazne poteze. To je del besedila novele zakona o javnem redu in miru, s katerim bi se Slovenija pridružila Franciji, Švici, Avstriji in nekaterim drugim evropskim državam, ki so že uzakonile prepoved nošenja burk na javnih mestih. Minister za notranje zadeve Franci Matoz priznava, da so predlog sprejeli tudi v luči nasilnih protestov, ki zadnje tedne divjajo po evropskih mestih. Zadnja verzija predloga zakona vsebuje tudi višje predvidene globe. Od 200 do 600 evrov kazni za zakrivanje obraza in od 1500 do 5000 evrov, če je imela oseba zakrit obraz pri nasilnem ravnanju.
