"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, this is not the first time that we have held debates about the Roma. There are many good intentions, but the results are frankly unsatisfactory. We are, of course, all largely responsible; we can say in this case that he who is without sin should cast the first stone as far as the integration of the Roma is concerned. I would nevertheless like to thank the Commission for the new policies it has outlined today; I would have liked an in-depth debate on these topics, but this was not possible. We have witnessed the usual performance, and what annoys me most is the fact that the Roma are being used as ideological pawns for political purposes, as the Left is using them today; the same Left that has governed for years at national and local level and allowed the Roma to carry on living in indecent shanty towns where the children are forced to beg and not go to school, and so on. Therefore, Mr Swoboda, when the Left was in power, there was no sense of outrage; I did not hear any words of indignation when these things happened. I would like to appeal to the President: next time, let us hold a real debate on policies, programmes and facts."@en1
