Roma have blocked a major road bridge near the city of Bordeaux in southern France in protest against their eviction from an illegal camp site, BBC reported late Sunday.
Around 250 vehicles blocked the bridge for five hours, causing tailbacks of up to five kilometers on a public holiday weekend. More than 40 illegal camps have been closed in the past week.
The French Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, says Roma from Eastern Europe will be deported on "specially chartered flights".
