Le proteste in Bulgaria contro l'espulsione della Francia di Roma, per continuare fino a quando Parigi si rifiuta di porre fine alla politica, gli organizzatori hanno dichiarato di dimostrazione.
Le osservazioni presentate da Stela Kostova, il direttore della Gioventù Roma Organizzazione nella città di Sliven, giunge due giorni dopo circa 200 persone, per lo più rom, radunato davanti all'ambasciata francese a Sofia, capitale bulgara.
Kostova told Balkan Insight on Monday: “We will continue to protest peacefully and tell our supporters to stop buying French goods if France doesn’t stop returning Roma.”
Paris has returned about 1,200 Roma to Bulgaria and Romania to date, paying €300 in cash to adults and €100 to children who voluntarily agree to be sent back to their home countries.
Kostova, who was among the organisers of Saturday’s rally, stressed that Paris' actions against the Roma community were a violation of human rights.
She said: “This policy is absolutely inhumane, that’s how the concentrations camps during World War II were started.
“Most of the returned people have gone abroad just to look for a better life, as many other Bulgarians do.”
Holding posters declaring; “Europe is with us”, “We want jobs, not a €300 bribe”, “We’re all Roma”, the protesters in Sofia had demanded the immediate suspension of France’s policy towards Roma, calling it discriminative and racist.
They handed in a letter to French president Nicolas Sarkozy at the French embassy, which also demanded an apology from the French government.
It also insisted on the equal treatment of Bulgarian Roma and the respect of their human and civil rights as European citizens.
Bulgarian prime minister Boyko Borisov said last week that his country should not get involved in the debate, as the debate raged between the EU and France at last week’s EU summit in Brussels.
