Dahman \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(2013) discusses the one sided presentation of history of Rroma in France. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImportant chapters on the social exclusion of Rroma are not worked out or only \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvery poorly presented by the French society at large. One such example are the anthropometric \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpassports they had to carry since 1912 which facilitated their identification \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand delivery to the Nazi regime by the Vichy government. Another one is the 1969 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tintroduction of a passport and the fact they had to report every six months to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta police station. This controversial legislation was only repealed in 2012. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdominant historical representation of Rroma in France is one of non-existence \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tor of distorted or false representation. This should change now as well as into \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe future.<\/p>\n
Midi Libre \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(2013) criticises the ongoing evictions of informal Rroma camps in France. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcircular from the summer of 2012, which called for a more organised and humane \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tapproach to evictions, such as the timely information of those affected or the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprovision for alternative accommodation places, has been as good as not at all applied. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn fact, the massive evictions of settlements resulted in a forced nomadism, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhich historically was also often mistaken for the real life of the Rroma. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrequent expulsions also hampers the integration of Rroma, an intended side \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\teffect or maybe not. Many politicians reproach the Rroma their lack of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twillingness to integrate. The irony of this debate lies the fact that there is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tan effective impediment to integration all the while, while inclusion preached.<\/p>\n
De \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMontvalon and Vincent (2013) highlight a radicalisation of the coverage on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma. The newest zenith of this tendency is the presentation of the magazine \u201cValeurs \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tactuelles\u201d with the provocative title, bordering on defamation \u201cRoma, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tl’overdose\u201d [Rroma, the overdose]. The Socialist Party reacted to this latest \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprovocation with the demand and constatation, that a decided action is required \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\txenophobia in France. The chronology of this radicalization goes back to the EU \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\taccession of Romania in 2007, after which, Nicolas Sarkozy, massively \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstrengthened the migration policy in France, in particular against the Rroma. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVincent and De Montvalon identify these policies as being ineffective. On the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontrary, according to statistics on the contrary, these policies led to more \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcriminality among Rroma in France. But even with the change of power of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconservative UMP, the Social Democratic Party under Fran\u00e7ois Hollande, there \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twas no real paradigm shift in the policies towards Rroma in France. Rather, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInterior Minister Manuel Valls has continued the evictions policies and even \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tintensified them. In the political discourse, there is still the wrong representation \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthat Rroma do not want to integrate, that they do not want to settle down (although \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmost are Rroma settled) and that these behaviours are part of their culture. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThese tales are propagated and kept alive both by the right and by the left.<\/p>\n
