An article on a Study of the Italian Association “July 21” on what it means living in camps for Rroma in Italy. In that country, these camps are institutionalised and the police, the authorities and NGOs all maintain this status quo.
A MUST READ!
A new book by Tanja Kambouri in Germany, entitled “Deutschland im Blaulicht. Notruf einer Polizistin” [Germany in blue light. Emergency calls of a policewoman], contains statements that are simply not acceptable. The book states for example that “Sinti und Roma sind meist Großfamilien mit fehlender Bereitschaft, sich zu integrieren” [Most Sinti and Roma are large families that show no readiness to integrate].
SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE … This shows a clear lack of understanding of the Rroma minority and clear racist prejudices.
The French magazine Valeurs Actuelles and its redactor in chief, Yves de Kerdrel, have been condemned in appeal to a fine of 2’000 Euro for “incitation to racial hatred” and racism following their editiorial “ “Roma – the overdose”.
Well done!
A study presented by the authorities and experts see an increase of parallel justice in Berlin and state that this creates a climate of fear. This is fine and good. But …
Professor Mathias Rohe, main author of the study states that “Man findet solche Strukturen häufig auch bei Sinti und Roma sowie in mafiös organisierten Gruppen”[one finds such structures also among Sinti and Roma as well as in mafia-like organised groups] – referring to parallel justice etc.
This is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE!
