More news on Roma in France – an usual pattern during the holiday season. In Marseilles, the largest Roma settlement of the city was closed, leaving 200 people on the street; another camp was closed in the Var, with journalist showing a video that suggest Roma were stealing scooters and cars; in Toulouse, a camp will be closed this coming Monday; in Angers, in Western France, on the one hand a solidarity manifestation for Roma and on the other, a camp that will probably be closed; in Lille, a Roma camp totally burnt down; and near Paris, a communist mayor launched an operation blocking a major highway to protest against a squat along that road and ask for the government to undertake something.
