Quote:
France says comments by former Cuban leader Fidel Castro about its treatment of Roma migrants are unacceptable and show his ignorance of history.


A few more quotes could be fun:

Quote:
"The use of 'holocaust' by Mr Castro demonstrates his ignorance of history and disdain towards its victims," said French foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero. "Such words are unacceptable."


I'd say it is a churlish wording, but it doesn't demonstrate anything like that.

Quote:
In a clear reference to Cuba's treatment of dissidents, Mr Valero added: "That Fidel Castro shows an interest in human rights is truly revolutionary."


Quite witty, but it could just as well backfire on France's own policy, which is decried by human rights activists as well.

In other words, a lot of meanless chatter.

Now I advise you to read the rest of the article about the Roma.
