French Chronicle …

Published by:

Almost no news on Rroma this week in France besides the story of the Dutch footballers. A book by a teacher in the Paris suburbs; expulsions threatening the education of Rroma children; some news in the north; and finally, in the 16th (and posh) arrondissement of Paris, people complaining about a housing centre for migrants and refugees …

Bizarre …

Published by:

A Romanian former minister states that the Romanian minority in Bulgaria is deprived of its rights … And what does she uses as a claim: Vlax Rroma living in Bulgaria. This is new and as suprising as if Orban were to defend the Hungarian minority in Romania citing that they are Rroma (actually, many Hungarian speakers in Romania are Rroma).

Breizh Again

Published by:

Breizh-info produced yet another scandalous article with all stereotypes such as criminality, poverty, begging, etc., and full of generalizations. In addition, as the journalists mixes up travelers, Rroma, nomads, he shows his total lack of knowledge and his true intent: Showing Rroma as dirty, poor beggars and thieves.

SHAME!!!
