(en) France, Against discrimination, for human solidarity and creation of a "collective rights of Roma Rosny" - Press Release of Alternative Libertair unit Seine-St-Denis (fr)

Roma families settled on land available on the territory of the town of Rosny sous Bois. 
These migrants, citizens of the European Union, are reduced to live in extreme poverty, 
without access to water without waste disposal, without the possibility to enroll their 
children. Some of these families are long gone. Others came after the recent destruction 
of their camp and a large part of their assets in Noisy le Grand. ---- The collective 
rights of Roma Rosny brings together associations and citizens, supported by a number of 
political organizations, who can not accept the fate of these populations, denial of 
rights to which they are subject, Racism tends to grow on them. He wants to bring these 
families and build concrete solidarity with the government more worthy solutions. It 
considers that the repressive policies of laissez-faire and not only add misery to misery, 
but encourage xenophobic reactions of part of the population.

Now, the collective rights of Roma Rosny request to the Mayor of Rosny sous Bois and the
prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis to suspend all pending deportation

the social diagnosis, identifying the needs of these families, by the services of the State.

an alternative is found on the land they occupy or other, enabling them to live in 
decent conditions.

Solutions are possible, while relying on existing funding at European level could include 
the active participation of stakeholders and would certainly be less expensive material 
and human resources, the repetition evictions solve nothing and do that aggravate the 
isolation and deprivation. Interministerial circular of 26 August allows early action in 
this regard since it evokes the possibility of including "development of home sites," or 
"the use of project management urban and social." All solutions which should be discussed, 
but are not discussed today, they would be a credit to a town that was once exemplary in 
the field of welcoming travelers.

Meanwhile, the collective strives for the realization of children's schooling, which 
corresponds to a legal obligation of mayors and Education, as the requirements of the 
International Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The collective rights of Roma Rosny was created for is necessary, for those like other 
Roma precarious logic Home, prevention and solidarity.
