".
This motion for a resolution arises at a time of contradictory statements regarding the expulsion of members of the Roma ethnic group from French territory. I believe that this matter is too serious to be debated in a way that is more emotional than rational and deserves a different political climate allowing a debate than avoids clichés. I am therefore of the opinion that the House should not have decided on this ill-timed scheduling.
That said, I repudiate, as I will always repudiate any political, military or police reaction against members of any ethnic group simply because they belong to it. The history of the 20th century was unfortunately too full of situations in which people were condemned not for what they had done, but for who they were. The brutal legacy of Nazism and communism proved this beyond doubt. I believe that the Union’s Member States have an incomparable record concerning their treatment of ethnic and religious minorities."@en1
