It would be "unconstitutional" for France to pass a law banning the burqini and such a move could cause irreparable harm, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve warned in an interview published online late Sunday. "As the prime minister has said, the government refuses to legislate on the matter because any such law would be unconstitutional, ineffective and likely to create antagonism and irreparable tension", he said. The restaurateur responds: "Racists like me don't plant bombs and don't kill people." A source close to the investigation said that the proprietor had left his home along with his family for security reasons.
