    Despite electoral promises made by the leaders of the political establishment in both France and Romania, the situation for around 15,000 Roma immigrants living in several hundred illegal camps in France remains highly precarious.

    According to Agerpress, data from the French Ministry of Interior reveals that around 500 camps were disbanded and more than 9,500 Romanian and Bulgarian Roma deported in 2010. After deportation to their countries of origin, many returned, fleeing the poverty and discrimination they encountered in Romania and Bulgaria.
