Minister defended topless sunbathers
In France, a senior official spoke out negatively about the servants of the law, who made claims to the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity for the fact that they sunbathe on the beach without wearing the top of a swimsuit.
One of the family members relaxing on the beach called the gendarmerie of the commune of Saint-Marie-La-Mer, which owns the place, with a complaint. They did not like the fact that there were women sunbathing topless next to them. Two law enforcement officers who had come to the call approached the sixty-year-old woman, whom the disgruntled citizens had pointed out, and asked her to cover herself.
But it turned out that she was not the only one here, and the officers had to walk all over the beach and make the same request to all topless ladies. Then their superiors made excuses that they were trying to keep calm in the resting place.
Outraged lovers of even tanning, believing that their rights were violated, told about the incident on social networks. On Twitter, they were supported by the Minister of the Interior of the Republic Gerald Darmanen.
He wrote that remarks were made to the women about their appearance on the beach for no reason. We know, the official stressed, that freedom is our valuable boon.
In general, there is no official ban on staying on a topless beach in France. But local authorities have the right to impose such restrictions at their discretion.
