    French ex-left parties support state persecution of the Roma

    France’s petty-bourgeois parties, including the New Anti-capitalist Party (NPA), Lutte Ouvrière (Workers Struggle, LO) and the Left Party (PG), are maintaining a deafening silence over President François Hollande’s decision to destroy Roma encampments.

    Since the election of the Socialist Party (PS), these outfits have shifted their public position on the persecution of the Roma, which they had previously criticised, albeit hypocritically, when it was being carried out by the previous, conservative president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
