France and Integration

March 25, 2017 Published by: RF

A conference was held in Paris on the integration of Rroma in the country. The conference’s title was voluntarily provocative: “Pourquoi ne seraient-ils pas intégrables ?” [Why couldn’t they be integrated] and is a reflection of Manuel Valls’ statement a few years back stating that Rroma cannot be integrated.

Rome and the Rroma

March 25, 2017 Published by: RF

Finally, the integration plan of Rome’s mayor, Virginia Raggi has been unveiled. And there is quite a bit of critique against it. The Association “July 21st” has criticised the plan in a press conference, denouncing weaknesses and contradictions. The main issues are: The plan only covers a tiny minority of the Rroma in the city and the plan to put the Rroma in some separate settlement which would rapidly turn into a ghetto.

Poland and State Help

March 25, 2017 Published by: RF

As the Polish state is currently not helping, Gdansk, Poznan, and Wroclaw has initiated a project and a discussion on Rroma integration. They are particularly concentrating on Rroma without residency papers and on those who live in appalling conditions on the edges of the cities.
