本文讨论了在其中的罗姆人被框定为一个重要的“安全问题”在法国公共政策议程在萨科齐总统任期内的方式。通过指出官方话语中“移民”和“不安全感”之间的关联的连续性和不连续性，它分析了罗姆人在某种程度上意外和突然的替罪羊作为对直接政治需要的回应，但也作为民族主义日益高涨的趋势的表达。在法国，公共空间是正式的种族盲，这一事实自相矛盾地促成了罗姆人作为一个群体的迅速污名化。
This article addresses the way in which the Roma were framed as an important ‘security issue’ on the French public policy agenda during the Sarkozy presidency. By pointing out continuities and discontinuities in the association between ‘immigation’ and ‘insecurity’ in official discourse, it analyses the somehow unexpected and sudden scapegoating of the Roma as responding to immediate political imperatives, but also as an expression of a mounting trend of nationalism. The fact that, in France, public space is officially ethnicity-blind contributed, paradoxically, to the rapid stigmatisation of the Roma as a group.
