"Mr President, I supported the resolution, which included the European United Left Group as a signatory.
In singling out the Roma community in France for victimisation and expulsion, French President Sarkozy and his government have displayed the most disgusting cynicism. The crude use of a minority community of oppressed people to divert attention from the disastrous economic and social policies is what this is all about.
Mr Sarkozy’s policies have resulted in mass unemployment in France and marginalisation of many working class communities. Mr Sarkozy’s government is now systematically attacking the living standards of French workers and is attacking the pension rights of the French people. Mr Sarkozy and his government are the agents of the French bourgeoisie and international big business and are desperately trying to use a vulnerable community as a scapegoat to divert attention from their huge unpopularity.
I salute the tens of thousands of French people who demonstrated against this policy last Saturday, and appeal to French workers to exercise their tremendous tradition of solidarity – with all minority communities and working people standing together in defence of human and civil rights and a better future – and not to be conned by this cynical exercise."@en1
