French Comedy …

Published by:

Bad taste in France. The comedian Christian Clavier who a while back said he would produce a comedy on Rroma called “Sivouplee” a pun on the beggars asking “s’il vous plait” released the trailer of the movie now called “A bras ouverts” – with open arms.
All clichés are there. BAD and BAD TASTE.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Mixed week on Rroma in France … Lots on a French Comedy “A bras Ouverts” on which we report separately, and otherwise, well, not so much. A helper who sexually aggressed Rroma children (just one story among many, we fear); Migrants when there are Rroma is apparently a no go in France – Really bad! -; an exhibition on Rroma near Paris; still issues with the enrolment of children in schools in France; cleaning the aftermath of an illegal camp near Paris; the evacuation of another camp near Paris; mobilisation against an expulsion in Angers in Western France; a mobilisation against a Front National mayor in Marseilles; and finally what is good, an article about the stereotype of the stealing Rrom…

Rome: 7 Mio for Rroma

Published by:

A bit of controversy on Raggi’s first budget in Rome. Vegans, Rroma, etc. For Rroma, 7 Mio were set aside. But … These will go in part to fund the camps around the capital. Bad.

Slovakia, Rroma, and Poverty

Published by:

An article stating that 87% of the Rroma in Slovakia are at risk of poverty. It is again based on the recent EU survey. And this one states that 87% of the interviewed Rroma in Slovakia are at risk of poverty … Small difference.

Bratislava: Photograph Exhibition

Published by:

An exhibition of phots of Rroma is opening today in Bratislava. Again, one finds mostly stereotypes in these pictures, something that is all too often the case in such exhibitions…
