15.02.2015 Exhibition on Rroma in Vienna

Published by:

A new exhibition in Vienna called “Romane Thana” or Rroma places presents the culture of the Rroma. The exhibition presents pictures, documents, sound material. Klaus-Michael Bogdal, authors of the book “Europa erfindet die Zigeuner” is also present at this exhibition.

Pity that the article, as well as Bogdal and the exhibition itself perpetuates the view that Rroma only arrived in the late middle ages in Europe. For some reason, in the eyes of Westerners, the Byzantine Empire never seems to have existed, much less to have been in Europe …

15.02.2015 Kosovo Refugees – German Calls for Action

Published by:

Following the sharp increase of people fleeing Kosovo to escape poverty and, in the case of Rroma, discrimination and outright racism, there are calls in Germany to be more stringent on theses asylum applications. Various measures have been suggested by politicians (Tagesspeigel) going to extraditing refugees also in the winter, as asked by politicians from the CDU (LNOnline). Some even deny that there is an issue in the country.

Politicians should be maybe remember, especially in Germany, that they recognised the country but also implicitly if not explicitly recognised the ethnic cleansing of minorities from the Kosovo. Ethnic states have no place in the 21st century!
