Bosnia – Still not safe

July 2, 2017 Published by: RF

An article highlighting the fact that Bosnia, more than 18 years after the end of the war, is still not safe for Roma to return. Ethnically cleaned countries are not good for minorities.

Bulgarian Roma

July 2, 2017 Published by: RF

An article about Bulgarian Roma. The article is probably well intentioned, but by showcasing a prostitute in Germany who wires 139’000 Euros back to her home contry, contributes to perpetuate negative stereotypes.
BAD.

Not many news lately on the Roma in France. In the Western part of France, in Nantes, the city has decided to fund a project for insertion for the roughly 1’800 Roma there, with of course Breizh Info protesting at what they see to be a waste of money; in Montpellier, in the South of France, residents next to a Roma camp are protesting and even going to court; near Paris, a member of Parliament for the Républicains made derogatory comments on Roma and beggars in general; a young Rom was beaten to death in the North of France, his assailants have been arrested – the press doesn’t mention their origins; and finally, a note on the current interior minister Gérad Collomb, and still mayor of Lyon and his anti-migrants views;
