Palma passes burqa ban: symbolic politics or protection?

Answer

How will Palma enforce the burqa ban on buses and in public buildings?

That is one of the main unanswered questions. Bus drivers, inspectors, and municipal staff may be expected to react, but it is not clear who would intervene, whether police would be called, or what happens if someone refuses to uncover. Without clear procedures, enforcement could become inconsistent and tense.
