Roma, Manuel Valls and the National Front

Haro sur…

Manuel Carlos Valls, born the 13 May 1962 in Barcelona (in Spain) acquired French nationality by naturalization and is now Minister of the Interior.

We ask ourselves a question: did he play the game of the Front National ?

By stigmatizing a minority population, unhappy where she was, he suggests, by virulent remarks that the Roma (see definition on Wikipedia : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roms ) are the cause of our misfortune in France ! Unless we misunderstood, misunderstood?

More, what did he mean to convey in his words, I ask him the question here ? Our pages are open to him in order to better understand his thoughts and his goals. ?

Just as Roma representatives can tell us why they chose France as a host country ...

For speaking with some of them, and having experienced expatriation in my life (voluntary and conscious for professional reasons), I know, oh how, tearing away from a usual land is difficult, complicated, destabilizing.

To know many people from another environment, I can say that it is never with a happy heart that you leave your land for financial reasons.

And I'm not talking about children, who undergo this exile ! Fortunately, French schools welcome them and try to integrate part of their being. By knowledge, by language.

But these children, did they ask something ? Non, they followed. Followed by filial love and to survive ...

So, let's stop the false quarrel, and let's try to discern it.

France's problem is not there ! It may lie in his mentality in general, and in the dark minds.

So, it’s better saying ...
