Main and Miskolc

Published by:

The city of Main in Germany, paired with Miskolc is sticking to its guns. It is providing funds and help for Rroma via the Maltese orders. Main is somewhat embarrassed here as Miskolc is evicting Rroma from its centre on spurious grounds.
And giving funds to the Maltese order is nice, but not sufficient. Political action is required.

Rome: Eviction, and then Nothing

Published by:

The City of Rome recently closed a centre which mostly lodged Rroma. According to local NGOs, this was more an eviction rather than a closure, as many of the people were not relocated in other centres.
The NGOs and the European Roma Right Centre are accusing the city to violate the human rights of the Rroma as well as not fulfilling their obligations according to European Laws.
