Home Guard – A Hungarian Movie
A long review on a new Hungarian movie “Home Guard” about right wing extremists taking over a small town in Hungary. The basic problem of the movie is its obvious racial overtones, especially against Rroma who are represented exclusively as thieves, liars, etc. All stereotypes usually associated to them by the general Hungarian public are present here.

French Chronicle
Very few news this week in France on Rroma. Whenever there are hot topics, Rroma vanish, only to resurface when the news are not so hot …
There is a new camp in the North of Paris; while another camp near St. Denis was closed; an article about municipalities from the Left who try to expel the poor, such as Lille or Montreuil; the story of a squat in Angers, in Western France; and a report of the first meeting of a collective in the North that wants to help Rroma.
