"I have supported this joint motion for a resolution because I am convinced that we urgently need to condemn the policy of the French Government, which has deliberately stigmatised an ethnic group by associating it directly with criminality, for the sole purpose of diverting attention away from the difficulties with its home affairs policy. This exploitation of the Roma issue is unacceptable in my view, and Parliament ought to react. Progressive Members, including the Social Democrats, have therefore demanded an end to this discriminatory rhetoric and to the collective expulsions, whereas the European right wing has largely supported the French Government in its drift to the right. We urgently need to implement a global strategy to tackle this subject, which affects 10-12 million EU citizens. This resolution deplores the lack of any reaction from the Commission, which is, however, supposed to be the guardian of the Treaties and as such should have condemned the French Government’s actions. The collective expulsions effectively make a mockery of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms."@en1
