Before the start of debates on the bill, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) proposed that the discussion be dropped from parliament’s agenda, as it “opens the gateway to revanchist, radical, morbid forces”. The ban will not be applicable in citizens’ homes or official places of worship of the respective denomination. Violations thereof will entail a fine of 100 euro for first-time offense and 750 for every subsequent offense.
