Italy's cabinet approved a decree-law banning burqas and niqabs in schools and capping non-Italian speakers at 30 percent per classroom from next year, with fines up to 1,140 euros. The measure takes effect immediately but needs parliamentary ratification within 60 days. Opponents call it culture-war politics ahead of 2027 elections.
