Roma Expulsions Continue In French Riviera

Nazi Politics Being Perfected

According to European Union law it is, and has been for some time, legal for countries like France and Germany to deport "foreign nationals". This law however is selectively applied seeing as how French insist that their deportations of Roma are legal due to them being from Romania and Bulgaria. And as far as the Union is concerned, it is legal to restrict the movement of certain "foreign nationals" due to the country of their origin.
-
January 14Th, CLSPD (local security and prevention against delinquency contract) invaded 25 Roma dwellings and forced the evictions of 160 Romani. This was carried out under direct orders of Christian Estrosi in an attempt to rid Plaine-du-Var of its Roma population.
-
This tactic of removing and deporting Roma while the outside world remains unaware has become France's new normal. They no longer are being as brazen as they were back in the summer of 2010. However they still are testing the waters one "camp" at a time. In 2011 we will most likely be seeing the trains that Germany used to ship the Jews to Auschwitz arriving in Paris soon enough... this is somewhat sarcastic seeing as how France has been using planes to deport its targeted populations.
-
What is even more shocking than the deportations is the fact that under France law any town or village with a population of 5000 or more must provide land for the Roma. Two currently exist in the areas around Plaine-du-Var in Nice and Antibes. Neither of these are sufficient and neither has electricity or running water. But what does France say about it... "we have the right to deport any "foreign nationals" (this and the threat that any Roma caught in Alpes-Maritimes will face a 15,000 euro fine and one year in prison).
-
All the while the Roma that remain in "designated areas" and act like "good little... (insert racist slur here)" have to deal with the fact that in France they are less than second class citizens. If they "stay on the reservation", so to speak, they don't have access to the basics of modern life. But they do get the opportunity to live without the looming fear of being attacked by SWAT style police in the middle of the night.
-
Christian Estrosi on the other hand was able to force the evictions of 160 Roma without concern. His only other problems he has to deal with is how to get a high speed rail from Nice to Genoa by 2018. Oh, and he needs to finish his plans on how to get IKEA to refurbish France's fifth best chance at an iconic city.
-
Nice's latest exploits in Nazi style politics only goes to show just how much Europe needs a new plan on how to cope with its Roma population. The Dutch have their "multiculturalism", which is new age Nazism, while the Germans tend to stick to their time tested forms of racism. England just tends to treat Roma like the red headed stepchildren of Europe. And all these methods are just not working.
-
The Roma currently suffer under the rise of ethnocentric Europe as the rest of the world idly stands by and watches. It just goes to show that we tend not to bother with other countries affairs till we can in good conscience boldly declare "Never Again".
