VOICED: France begins Roma expulsions

In recent weeks, the French government has initiated deportations of Roma individuals, sparking controversy and criticism. Around 60 people were deported from Lyon to Bucharest, with each adult receiving €300. This action follows the closure of unauthorized camps and has been criticized as pandering to the far right, with some likening it to Nazi-era tactics. The EU has urged France to comply with freedom of movement rules, while French officials argue they are following the law. Public opinion is divided, with many fearing further stigmatization of Roma communities.
