Stefan Bos
August 2, 2019

The Netherlands during the week followed France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark and Austria in banning face coverings.

Keith Walker speaks with DW correspondent Stefan Bos in The Hague, who begins by explaining how the new Dutch law does not go as far as other, more extensive bans in Europe.
