In Seine-Saint-Denis, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe largest illegal Rroma-settlement is being evicted. Located next to the A3 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmotorway, the settlement included more than 700 people. The majority of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinhabitants had left the camp prior to the arrival of the police forces, as the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprefect of Seine-Saint-Denis announced. On the site, about 200 huts had been \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbuilt, which are now being demolished. Accommodation has been organised for a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdozen ill persons. A representative of the local Rroma organization criticised \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe eviction as hasty and as the result of a politics and change of camp in the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcommunities involved: \u201cAccording to Ana\u00efs, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta member of the support group of Rroma in Blanc-Mesnil, who did not want to state \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ther name, the families\u00a0 \u201chastily \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpacked their bundles on Sunday.\u201d \u201cWhen we visited them on Sunday, many were \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talready gone and many others were hastily on the move. This rash evacuation is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe result of a political change in the two communities\u201d, she regretted.\u201d<\/em> Both \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnewly elected mayors of Blanc-Mesnil and Aulnay-sous-Bois thus continue a rigorous \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teviction policy as demanded repeatedly by Manuel Valls. Although this expulsion \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpolicy corresponds to the legislation, as the Rroma were residing illegally on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe premises, it prevents and hinders a long-term integration of Rroma, which \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tshould be aspired (compare Dumontier 2014, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLe Figaro 2014, Le Monde 2014, Le Nouvel Observateur 2014, Metronews 2014).<\/p>\n
