Frank-Juergen Weise: 'An employee with a burka will not be tolerated here'

Frank-Juergen Weise, CEO of the German Federal Employment Agency and the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, has banned staff from wearing a burka - the Daily Express reports. 

"An employee with a burka will not be tolerated here,” he said. “Just like people with sloppy clothes will not be accepted."

He added that headscarves will be allowed.

"If it is not reflected in a behaviour that contradicts our values,” he continued, “wearing a headscarf is fine for me. Then it is just a piece of clothing."
