English translation:

"In Grenoble [in southeastern France], the burqini [that is, a form of very modest swimwear principally associated with Muslim women] was authorized by municipal pools after a lot of work by the Syndicat des femmes musulmanes de l'Alliance Citoyenne [Muslim Women's Union of the Citizen Alliance] and various anti-racist and feminist groups and associations. In theory female toplessness is equally authorized.

"It came down to 29 votes against 27 with 2 abstentions.

"It's typically the kind of anti-reactionary victory, and progressive too, that I like a lot. A little more visibility of bodies, imposed upon the reacs."
