A Row in the Czech Republic on Discrimination

Published by:

An NGO officially disagrees with a judgement of court stating that the principal of a school in Ostrava-Muglinova discriminated against two Rroma pupils…
Bad enough that this happened, good that the court agreed, it is even more complicated. The NGO is an organisation that has been part for a long time in Rroma education and is funded in part by the Open Society Foundations. They say there is no discrimination, just a row on education.
Nothing is simple …

More camps being closed in the Lille region, following the accusations of aggressions by Rroma youngsters, with one camps dismantled in Lille Hellemes; and a collective is asking the Mayor of Lille whether he wants to “clean up” the town of Rroma (Martine Aubry is the socialist mayor of Lille); then a new trend – garbage – with two articles, one on Rroma helping cleaning out their camp, the other stating that tons of garbage were left by Rroma – both are an old story used to justify eviction; some news in the West on the Holocaust; and finally, some better news in Montpellier, with an association calling for the end of stigmatisation of Rroma, and with a mediation being put in place to allow children to attend school.
