French authorities have said the majority are returning on a voluntary basis
But as the 124 people landed in Timisoara, in their native Romania, many said they planned to head straight back to France.
“Of course I’m thinking about returning to France. Life is better than in Romania,” said 26-year-old Ionut Balasz as he arrived in Romania.
Aurel Cioaba echoed his sentiment: “I was there [in France for] four months with my wife, and if I can’t get by here in Romania I will go back.”
President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the crackdown on Roma in late July as part of a larger “war” on people who outstay their work permits in France. But the programme has sparked criticism, with human rights group saying it targets a single ethnic group, which is illegal under EU law. French authorities deny the claim, saying the programme is voluntary.
France can repatriate Roma, even though they come from EU-member states Romania and Bulgaria, if they are unable to prove they can support themselves.
French authorities have said the majority are returning on a voluntary basis, given small sums of money – €300 (£245) for each adult and €100 for each child – to help them re-establish themselves at home.
Since Mr Sarkozy’s announcement of the crackdown, police have dismantled dozens of illegally installed gipsy camps, checked the situations of each inhabitant and prepared to whisk them to their Romanian homeland.
Nearly 100 gipsies were sent to Romania on two flights on Thursday. Similar flights were expected later this month and into September.

What was the carbon footprint of the Goblins trail of tears?
Gipsies moved east after they were freed from slavery in 1848-56. Westerners used them as slaves before that. Gipsies are not romanians, bulgarians, hungarians , ukranians or french . They need to be sent back to India, just like algerians, moroccons, turks or pakies from England need to be sent back to their own countries. DO NOT SEND GIPSIES BACK EAST AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t send them to India to get expelled again, send them to LA with the liberals/multiculturals who love them.
Send them back to Kasmir.

Kashmir does not want those uncultured scum, that is why they expelled those casteless mix breed fucks!
It’s not a Gipsy problem,it’s a problem for Hungarians keen to climb the greasy pole in France.
Have many refused to be exploited?
It’s like the Bush Era rewrote the definition of Evil as any foreigner who eschews expoitation.
Then there was ‘Change’,the Goblin of the French is still behaving in the old paradigm.
French propagandist highlight the problem much?
We remember strawman Islam thrust into our faces before tewwor,tewwor,tewwor was good for a shitty liitle country.
Do not mistake Gypsie (Roma) with Romanian. Gypsies belong in India.
If we, romanians faild to integrate gypsies why the “West” doesn’t show us how it’s done, and just go around the problem?! You can’t integrate someone who doesn’t want to be integrated and preferes a nomad, tribal life like the gypsies.
P.S. “Gypsies are NOT Romanians, morons.”
You have to admire our Dunkirk Spirit.
India does not want those criminal scum, they expelled them for a reason and let the afghans enslve them for a reason, that is why no Indian is speaking up for these backwards morons, they are mixed with 50th million different cultures anyway they are mongrels and mutts, they are not anyhting like real Indians who actualy do assimilate and are civilized! Roma should all be shipped to LA, I hear some roma there already are mixing with the latinos there.
They are a low caste music making people, only liberals brainwashed by the media support these roma!
why hate these people so much. could it be that they were so mistreated, not given jobs, alienated from society as a whole thats why they resort to stealing, begging and prostitution? i think they are beautiful. their culture seems rich, their attire is amazing and they can sing and dance beautifully. why reject these people, they are a part of gods creation. it sounds to me like they have had really hard lives. we have to be careful as people of this beautiful planet that we dont allow atrocities to be meted out to any one race as it happened with the jews. i think these people are persecuted because their culture is different as a minority group in the countries they have inhabited and its wrong to disciminate against any one people and their culture, come on manking , give the gypsies a chance. they are stereotyped and stigmatised, what are they supposed to do?
You would think he Jewish government in France would welcome this people without a land,but they are the font of racism.
Always have been since inbreeding created the prevalence of a swindlers gene among them.
