ROMANIA/FRANCE: 1ST UPDATE: 70 Expelled Roma Arrive In Bucharest.
LINK CHANGE/ NYT/ About 70 Roma arrived in Bucharest after being expelled by France under a controversial policy backed by President Nicolas Sarkozy. Hundreds more will soon follow after their camps are shut down. Romania is warning against the "xenophobic reactions". "We understand the position of the French government. At the same time, we support unconditionally the right of every Romanian citizen to travel without restrictions within the EU," said Romanian President Traian Basescu. Each departing Roma gets 300 euros ( $384) and an additional 100 euros for each child. But one Roma man said that in Romania "we don't have any chance, no jobs, nothing".
