Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that she had seen pictures and videos which, in her opinion, showed several people completely or partially masked at a counter-demonstration in Copenhagen the Saturday before. She also wrote that followers had contacted her about the matter via Facebook and email. Isaksen referred to Section 134 b of the Danish Penal Code, which according to her prohibits covering one's face at public meetings, gatherings, and processions if it prevents identification. She wrote that violations can be punished by a fine or imprisonment for up to six months. She stated that she had asked the Minister of Justice questions about both the general enforcement of the provision and the police's actions during the demonstrations in Copenhagen, including whether anyone had been charged. If no one had been charged, she wanted to be informed why. #Maskeringsforbud #Demonstration #Justitsminster (translated)

E. wrote that Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis and a member of LFI, which E. described as France's far-left party, was often seen with masked individuals whom E. called hooligans. E. claimed that Bagayoko seemed satisfied with the chaos and suggested that the riots received support from the left. E. also referred to France's ban on face coverings in public places, which according to E. was regulated by "LOI n° 2010-1192 du 11 octobre 2010 interdisant la dissimulation du visage dans l'espace public." E. wrote that the violation usually resulted in fines, but imprisonment could be part of the penalty for masking in connection with certain crimes, such as violence, threats, or hate crimes. #Frankrike #Politik #LFI (translated)
