Many news in France on Salvini’s suggestion to count Roma, and several articles on the Ukraine this week. First, several arrivals from Albania in Western France.

Then, the more usual news with a fire in a camp in the North and, following a fire of criminal nature in a camp near Grenoble, associations have made a formal complaint. Finally, an expulsion near Paris.
