The question of burkini has already been debated several times. In March, the municipality of Mjölby announced that it had stopped hiring the burkini in public baths.
"It is still permissible to wear burkini in public baths, but we, as a municipality, do not want to supply them, it does not correspond to our values," said Anneli Sjöstrand (C), Vice-President of the Council culture and recreation.
In France, a woman was fined after being found on a sand beach burkini in 2016. The same year, several French cities have imposed the ban on the swimsuit.
