Socialist spokesman says in a statement that "democratic institutions can not stay silent to the inculcation of EU law and human rights posed by the mass deportation of Roma from Romania and Bulgaria by the French government"
Juan Fco Otálora believes that "a people with a true immigrant and a gypsy community as significant as Totana not be silent about the outrage that is taking place in a European Union country."
"It is extremely demagogic and damaging to democracy that wishes to convey the idea that being an immigrant means a felon, or that being Roma means being crook," said too.
Otálora notes that "Parliament has spoken out against these deportations that violate the rules that underpin the Union and the civil rights of citizens."
Socialist Spokesman for the attitude of the French right to ignite an incendiary speech and discrimination is very dangerous, because in times of crisis is very easy to turn to radicalism and racist attitudes to divert attention from the real problems of citizens. "
Otálora also noted that "the fingerprinting of Roma expelled from France is illegal and the European Union prohibits any European citizen to be expelled from a country for lack of economic resources, and above all that any Member State be forced to limit the right to free movement of EU citizens for reasons of security or public order, can only do so based on personal conduct, not on general considerations in the prevention or ethnic or national origin those affected. "
"With this motion the regular plenary session of September we intend to denounce the situation in question, democratic support to all those who are defending human rights and eradicate any hint xenophobic, as happened years ago could be seen in Totana," said too.
Otálora announced that "the proposal that lead to the endorsement of the Chamber is demanding the French government to suspend immediately all deportations of Roma, that all authorities and community institutions expressly reject any statement linking minorities and immigrants crime and create discriminatory stereotypes, and ultimately communicate these resolutions to the French Embassy in Madrid, the International Romani Union and the gypsy group of Totana.
He concluded that "no Democrat can afford that, given the political crisis, governments in this case French, try to divert attention from the public at the expense of immigrants, using racial prejudice and hatred, linking crime and public safety and illegal immigration or the so-called "undocumented" or engaging in topics. "
undemocratic and using demagogic discourse of fear, which sometimes have had great electoral gains.
