Three women in niqab presented themselves, yesterday afternoon, at the polling station “family center” in the Côte-des-Neiges district of Montreal to exercise their electoral law. Their turn came, they carried out all the stages, including that of the visual identification of the voting, of course, and that, by discovering the face.
So far nothing abnormal since these three citizens have been able to vote in the best possible conditions. Except that a person, visibly embarrassed by the holding of the two women, did not hesitate to ask one of them if his niqab hid a woman or a man.
Feeling offended, the woman in question judged the impromptu remark. She would have even benefited from the support of certain presents who were verbally attacked the interested party.
A little later, a man arrived at the polling station, seeking to know the identity of the individual behind the incident.
The latter, still present, was recognized by the man who slapped him without giving him time to open his mouth abandoning groggy.
After returning to his senses, he asked for the list of people who had just voted to identify his attacker and file a complaint against him, but that was refused.
