The trend holds. Very fe news on Roma this week in France.
Pictures of a Roma camp near Paris made the headline. They show the houses and the garbage filmed from a drone. In Montreuil, the mayor requisitioned housing for migrants, but not for Roma who have been expulsed a long while back. In the north, locals are asking for the closure of a camp while in the South East, in Grenoble, a camp is likely to be closed.
