i heard something about it but here in Canada we don`t have too much info about what happens across the Atlantic. I heard there were too many gypsies and italian authorities were sending them back to the countries were they come from or something like that, can someone enlight me about this? When Romania was a candidate into the EU, the EU itself had several requirements for the Romania and one of them was to treat the Gypsy population equally as the other nations. Now the Romanians know very well that it is impossible to treat them as citizens as they are kind of lazy, thieves and cheaters. Romania tried to do it and when when it was accepted in the EU, the gypsies got the same rights as the others and they flooded Italy and took with them their own habits: stealing cheating, living in misery, and now the Italian goverment has to deal with this problem. But remeber a Gypsy is a gypsy, no gold will change him or her
