The European Commission spokesman Olivier Bailly said: "Roma, like all EU citizens, have the freedom to circulate freely in all member states of the EU and to live in a country other than their country of origin."

The so-called socialist government of Hollande have continued a crackdown begun under the previous rightwing administration of Nicolas Sarkozy.
Interior minister Manuel Valls told the radio station France Inter that "these populations have lifestyles that are very different from ours, and are clearly in confrontation" with the lifestyle of the French. He said few Roma could integrate into French society. He said the majority should be deported and that France was "not here to welcome these populations".
