REALLY???

Published by:

A French Front National politician is proposing to recover the gold teeth of Rroma to make them pay for their lodgings … This in a small town near Grenoble.
Last time this was done was at Auschwitz! If you had any doubts about the French Front National, this is it.
The Mayor is called Franck Sinisi. His full citation is: “pour loger les Roms, je pense qu’il pourrait y avoir un auto-financement. La Métropole devrait leur payer un dentiste… afin de récupérer les dents en or” [to lodge Roma, I think that there should be a self funding. The state should pay them a dentist … so as to recover their gold teeth].
SHAME – and Write to him and to the Front National.

Jasenovac: Compensation?

Published by:

Relative of the victims of Jasenovac, mostly Jews and Rroma as well as Serbs, are asking for a compensation from the Croatian state. The Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that in recent days it received a lawsuit of the relatives of Croatian Serbs, Roma and Jews for the return of confiscated property and for the repayment of the suffering during the Independent State of Croatia (NDH).
Serves the Croatian well for rehabilitating several of the perpetuators of these crimes.

Rome – No More Camps – Not!!!

Published by:

In spite of promises from the municipality and its Five Stars Mayor, Rome is ready to open a new Rroma camp on its outskirts “as a temporary measure” …
On March 7th, the Welfare Department has approved a measure aimed at identifying a new “picnic area” (SIC!) intended to “welcome and provide a staying possibility for 120 Roma families “, with a “service management”. In practice it is a new settlement to replace the current “Camping River”, in which there are 420 people, for which management services will expire on June 30 of this year.
SHAME and LIES!
