Marine Le Pen in Northern France

Published by:

The president (and presidential candidate) of the Front National said in a meeting in Dinan, in the north, that criminality and insecurity were the result of the presence of 1’000 Rroma in that city.
This is racism at its worst.

Croatia, Holocaust and Boycott

Published by:

This year, Jews again boycotted the Croatian commemorations of the Holocaust. Several Rroma organisations too, although several other did attend.
An explanation of why this boycott: The history is being quietly rewritten in Croatia, and the crimes of the Ustasha and the murders they committed are being retouched.
Rroma and Jews were their victims in camps such as the infamous Jasenovac.
