Catalonia: City becomes country's first to ban burqa

Lleida previously banned the burqa in municipal buildings.
Update: I misunderstood the report. The legislation banning the burqa in municipal buildings is now being implemented.

Via AKI:
Lleida in the northeastern Catalonia region on Thursday became Spain's first city to introduce a ban on wearing the face-covering Islamic burqa in public places. The niqab - which covers the face but leaves a small slit for the eyes - has also been banned.
