One thorny subject in Slovakia is land ownership in the Rroma settlements. The Rroma there are mostly without any formal ownership, leaving them vulnerable to evictions and resettlement.
An amendment to the current law of land ownership is in review in the Slovak Parliament, and would allow for transfer of ownership and compensation for the owners. Let’s see how the law will work out in reality.

It seems that with the polemics on the Front National politician on gold teeth, the rest of the news is pretty much concentrated in the North of France… Why is a mystery, but clearly one speaks more about Rroma in the North of France than in any other region of the country bar Paris.
More closures in Roubaix, on the Quai de Bordeau; and with one squat being on the list of impeding closures; in Ronchin, where the former school Sainte Thérèse has been closed and is now being sealed to prevent any other arrival; and finally for the North, the arrest of a 14 years old Rroma boy following a theft, and who was recognised by a women who was sexually assaulted, prompting the closure of several camps in Lille.
Other news in France cover the interpellation of Marine Le Pen in the South of France by a Rrom on the affair of the gold teeth; the visit of an “insertion village” in the Isère by the Minister of Housing; and a reportage on children sleeping in the rough in Caen, in Normandie.

The Front National politician, Franck Sinisi, who last week suggested that one could recover the gold the gold teeth from the Rroma to pay for their lodging (really!) is being investigated by his own party.
Well, good that the FN realised this is not acceptable, but do we believe that they are really serious about that? There have been too many politicians of that party, starting with Jean Marie Le Pen himself who have made such statements.
