In Marseille, the “integration village” project for Roma abandoned. The project, which planned to accommodate a dozen Roma families on a wasteland in the northern districts, was finally rejected by the prefecture before the start of the work.
A dozen families from the Roma community were to put their suitcases there “for a maximum period of two years” in order to “develop a reinforced socio-professional integration area” “We are disappointed that the project was withdrawn without consultation with the residents,” argues Michel Teule, president of the Saint-Henri district interest committee.
