Radio Dreyeckland (2014 I/II) reports about Rroma-migrants on the Île-de-France, from the perspective of the collective Romeurope du Val Maubuée. The activist François Loret talks in the interview about his experiences during the relief work in Champs-sur-Marne: about routine evictions of informal settlements, about human dignity, problems of everyday life and the exploitation of Rroma in the informal economy. The collective, which consists of about a hundred activists, advocates for the integration of immigrant Rroma. François Loret has an awareness of the political instrumentalisation of the Rroma through politics and its campaigning. But he neglects the integrated, invisible Rroma. Loret regrets the big reservations of many politicians towards the Rroma, who are often also uncritically solid against the Rroma because of the bias in the electorate. Therefore, many evictions are politically motivated, and not the result of safety defects or other deficits. At the same time, it is amazing how little anger can be found among Rroma, he states. Loret sees the evictions as counterproductive to a successful, long-term integration.
