Castro claims France is carrying out a racial holocaust

LONDON - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has accused France of carrying out a “racial holocaust” over its expulsion of Roma migrants back to their homes in eastern Europe. e said strong protests in France were “essential” to counter the expulsions.

“The last thing one would expect is the news of the expulsion of French gypsies, who are victims of the cruelty of the extreme rightwing in France,” The Telegraph quoted Castro, as saying at an event to promote the second volume of his autobiography. ome 7,000 migrants are “victims of another kind of racial holocaust,” Castro said.

“My idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn’t work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious”, he added. (ANI)
