Public swimming pools in Catalonia must allow women to go topless

The regional government, led by the pro-independence Catalan Republican Left (ERC), can in theory fine any town hall found to have breached the norm up to €500,000.

This just in... tourism to Catalonia jumps 300%!

I lived in Greece for two years, be careful what you wish for, the topless woman ranged from 5 yrs old to 80. It was disturbing seeing a 13 year old or an eighty year old topless. It’s natural in their culture, but as an American it was culture shock.

Time to order tickets to Catalonia 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I spent nearly two weeks in Spain, with one week at beach communities in 1984 & female, topless bathing
was fully accepted then, with about 25% to 30% going topless! By now, 40 years later, I expected it to be the
norm, rather than still being debated, there! Did the Spanish Govt. start objecting to it, in the years since?

Noo don't do it! 😲 It's a booby trap 😂

How is top-free equality not guaranteed across all of Europe?

[Veritas_Vincit]

Why should anyone wear clothes at all? We should be absolutely free like our cavemen ancestors right? Decency is just a oppressive social construct made by the evil patriarchy.

[AlphaWarsaw]

Every country should have this in 2030 Inshallah.

equal rights to choose and not be prosecuted but it will be decades before a trend catches on and it becomes normal. It's been 30 years since we've had equal rights in NY (USA) and 90% of females still wear a top on any given beach.

Disgusting Their gonna disrespect children and families

[JasonMitchellofcompsci]

Good. Regardless of equality, freedom is its own worthwhile value.

[rrywdnl]

So women cant cover up if they want to but you can be naked. Yea that makes sense.

[Stonewall]

Let women be women . When it comes to freedom women must have the ability to breast feed and wear clothes that will help them. We still have to many taboos in this world.

Hmmmm. What's the bad news? Mitch Banner Linville NC

[theylied]

What? I'm against this! Giving women equal rights... in front of children? What's next, the right to vote or to drive a car? This is madness and I won't stand for it!

[richardgomes]

And yet nothing has changed, except one 90 year old women will dodge jail time.

FYI: They're Speaking Spanish/Castellano....

What happened when my little brother started angry

[paulobarboza]

I totally agree on the burkini Ban because it's oppressive and all for nude topless

[tomwery]

Men should have to cover their nipples too if its to be a legitimate ban.
