"The European platform against poverty and social exclusion contains proposals with which I do not agree, as these anticipate a commitment on the part of the European Union and the Member States in favour of categories that do not fall under the heading of social emergency in this time of crisis. As is often the case, we are, in fact, speaking of policies in favour of Roma populations and their social inclusion, when instead we are dealing with an ethnic group which, quite simply, does not demonstrate any desire to become integrated into the social fabric of our societies. Furthermore, we talk of guaranteeing quality housing to categories of immigrants, all the while forgetting that, before such people, national and EU authorities should be concerning themselves with the destitute in our own countries who number so many, and with those disadvantaged categories that are suffering the disastrous effects of the current financial crisis, such as the elderly, young couples, and so on. Indeed, these are the people who should be helped by making every financial effort possible, before we squander yet more hundreds of millions of euro, as we have done in recent years in our pursuit of imaginary objectives such as inclusion of the Roma. I voted against the report."@en1
