Spain orders town to drop ban on Muslim religious gatherings
MADRID — The Spanish government has ordered a town to drop a ban on religious gatherings in public sports facilities, with ministers criticising the measure as discriminatory towards the local Muslim community and arguing that it violates the constitution.The ban was approved last week by the conservative local government of Jumilla, a town of 27,000 in Spain's southeast region of Murcia.The measure was initially proposed by the far-right Vox party and then amended and approved by the centre-right Popular Party (PP), to which the mayor of Jumilla belongs.It prohibits municipal sports facilities from being used for "cultural, social or religious activities foreign to the City Council".

For Alemanno, EU law professor at HEC in Paris, this is a clear sign that Europe is being left on the sidelines."The Alaska meeting may offer yet another moment of truth for Europe because the European Union finds itself on the sidelines in what...
