Not much about Roma this week in France. A Roma association lodged a complaint against the mayor of Villeron, near Paris, where the mayor and many of the residents illegally destroyed a Roma camp. Apparently, the mayor was shouting racist comments while this happened. In Lyon, another fire in a Roma camp. In Annecy, the story of a man who had so sell his parent’s house as it was squatted by Roma. Finally, a Rom killed on a highway in Nantes.
