Camp or Favela?

Published by:

Let’s call a cat a cat … An interesting article in the French press about camps, all too often associated with Rroma whereas they are simply the result of poverty and lack of access to the housing market. So in effect favelas which are not “part of the Rroma culture” as is all too often portrayed in the Press.

Germany: More against AfD

Published by:

The German Jewish Central Council is calling for more engagement against the AfD, a new German party who is definitively not pro minorities and migrants. Rroma are amongst its targets.
We can only agree with this statement.
