France & the evictions of the Roma

The controversy over the evictions by France are getting more heated:

French President Sarkovy is reacting angrily to comments by an EU commissioner that were highly critical of the recent evictions of Roma by French authorities. 

Do you think that given the tensions regarding immigration throughout many European countries (although the Roma generally aren't immigrants per se), that there is more support for these actions from the public in France and other countries?

How should France handle this controversy?  Is Pres. Sarkovy's response the best strategy?
