France & the EU are obliged to accomodate fellow European citzens.
|
EU countries are only obliged to accommodate fellow European citizens (if they intend to stay for more than 6 months) as long as the citizens entering the country have:
either be engaged in economic activity (on an employed or self-employed basis);
or have sufficient resources and sickness insurance to ensure that they do not become a burden on the social services of the host Member State during their stay. The Member States may not specify a minimum amount which they deem sufficient, but they must take account of personal circumstances;
or be following vocational training as a student and have sufficient resources and sickness insurance to ensure that they do not become a burden on the social services of the host Member State during their stay;
or be a family member of a Union citizen who falls into one of the above categories
Given that these romanians are living in shanty town I doubt they qualify in any of the above conditions. And certainly anyone found to be involved in criminal activity can be expelled immediately.

The UNICEF report which I linked to, together with various other quantifiable sources - somewhat more enlightened than your opinion on the matter - clearly identify persecution as a systemic issue as far as Roma gypsies are concerned.
|
The report you linked to covers South East Europe only, namely Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Kosovo, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia.
Not Northern Europe, so intresting and applicable in may be in Serbia, it has no relevance in France.

Just because you don't think it to be so does not mean it isn't so.

I'm sure that incertain areas of Europe, these people have a dreadful time, indeed other wise they wouldn't come to France, and other Northern European countries. But that doesn't mean they can set up camp in France and expect to treated differently.
Quote:
Again your assertion "these particular Romanians ""are" troublemakers" and "... involved in criminal activity" are as unfounded, generalistic and xenophobic as the very similar (and now politically disputed / challenged) rantings of Sarkozy(i) which you are parroting.
There are none so blind as those who cannot see.

I would argue that anyone living in a shanty town, in unsanitary conditions, and staying beyond their legal limit - is a trouble maker.
It's not xenophobic, once again the last resort of someone has no real argument is to turn to race, I'm so tired of that.
I'm sure that if such a camp was set up at the bottom of your garden, you'd welcome them with open arms and share a vodka or two. Then maybe not so much when the lead disappears from your roof, and you're offered your way with a 16yr old girl for a few quid as you walk home.
It's all very well being righteous when the issue is hundreds of miles away in another country, but what of the decent French folk having to endure this?
Send in the bulldozers.
