I tell you very clearly. I will be very  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tuncompromising concerning security (&#8230;). I am on the line of Estrosi. I see  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttoday how Rroma attack young people and old ladies at cash machines. I will not  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttolerate this. Without further ado, they will disappear from the city centre.\u201d<\/em> Domergue is not alone with his racist remarks. Last year, many French  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpoliticians, from left to right, from candidates to elected ministers, made racist  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tremarks against Rroma. At least, the French law doesn\u2019t tolerate these  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttransgressions passively. However, whether the lawsuits, whose verdicts usually  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tturn out very mild, will change something in this practice is not clear (Dubault  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2014, Le Figaro 2014).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dubault, Fabrice (2014) La Ligue des droits de l&#8217;Homme porte plainte contre  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJacques Domergue pour des propos contre les Roms.
