enacted a law pushed by the far right banning the concealment of faces in public, a measure widely seen as targeting Muslim women wearing a full-face veil.

The law prohibits the wearing of garments designed to conceal the face or prevent identification in public spaces

Did the far right use anti immigrant sentiment to advance surveillance state stuff? Or is there something else at play?
