lpv:translated text	". The expulsion of the Roma by the French Government and other European Union governments is a reprehensible act. Unfortunately, this racist and xenophobic act, which seeks to distract us from the serious social crisis we are experiencing and find scapegoats, has not received immediate repudiation from the European Commission and the Council. We harbour no illusions about the hypocritical role played by EU institutions in this entire process, especially if we remember that they are so diligent in their criticism and interference in third countries. In this case, however, dealing with citizens of EU Member States, they have folded their arms or made merely circumstantial statements. Where, when it comes to it, is the European Union that claims to be one of the world’s greatest defenders of human rights? No posture other than condemnation would be acceptable here. Experience shows us that when it comes to dealing with France, one of the leaders of the EU, discretion is always used. What is needed here is a break with the neoliberal policies that conservatives and social democrats continue to practice. New policies are urgently needed to promote employment with rights, welfare and social progress for all. This is the way to prevent governments such as the French from turning racism and xenophobia into state policies, and the transformation of the EU into a police force for Member States as some would have it, taking advantage of the reprehensible acts of certain governments."@en1
