The French Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, declared half of the illegal Roma camps in the country would be demolished in the upcoming three months.

Hortefeux further vowed to deport to Bulgaria and Romania all Roma, who have violated the law in any way.

The Minister's statements came after an emergency cabinet meeting following the clashes between Roma and the police in central France.

Most of the Roma in France came from Bulgaria and Romania after the two countries joined the EU in 2007 and are seen by the majority of the French as a threat to security, according to France Press.
