Liberals accept deportation of Roma

The deportations of Eastern European Roma from France would have triggered a storm of protest throughout Europe just a decade ago, writes the conservative daily Magyar Nemzet: "In the spirit of political correctness the media ... would have warned of the advance of xenophobia. Human rights organisations would have vocally mobilised people to protect the Roma colonies. And in the end the deportation of the Roma would have been prevented. But faced with the challenges of the 21st century, particularly immigration and the global crisis, the combative liberals have grown quiet. … The spirit of political correctness and the unlimited idea of freedom have increasingly faded into the background. Faced with the threat of its demise Europe has learned to appreciate not just the system but also the state."
