A happening with a dozen veiled young girls, in tracksuits, dribbling in the alleys of the Luxembourg garden, in January 2022, while the senators are preparing to vote on the bill on “the democratization of sport” an amendment prohibiting the wearing of the veil during competitions. A demonstration fifteen days later in front of the National Assembly (finally prohibited by the prefecture). And numerous publications on Instagram and Twitter, as well as a petition widely distributed on social networks.
