France's prime minister is expressing support for local bans of burkini swimsuits, saying the swimwear is based on the "enslavement of women" and therefore not compatible with French values.
However, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Wednesday in the La Provence newspaper that he's not in favor of a national law against them.
Three French Mediterranean towns have banned the burkini, citing security concerns after a summer marred by extremist attacks. Critics say the bans are discriminatory.
