How Bad Can it Get?

December 17, 2017 Published by: RF

Reading this article, one cannot but ask how bad journalism can get. It seems this is a very deep pit indeed. This article manages to present all stereotypes, mixes travellers and Roma and well, is of really bad taste …
What else can one expect from this paper…

French Chronicle …

December 17, 2017 Published by: RF

Less evictions in France, due to the winter pause, but lots of activities regarding Roma. Discussions on Roma in Marseilles, where politicians of various sides violently disagreed; in Nimes, Roma and unemployment are the greatest worries; in Celleneuve, a suburb of Montpellier, residents managed to force a debate on a Roma camp; in Nantes, in the West, Roima are being integrated, which is good; and in Grenoble, in the Alps, an evening was devoted to reducing stereotypes on Roma. Finally, near Paris, a camp was closed.
