Germany: NPD Poster

January 24, 2018 Published by: RF

More noise on the extreme rightist party (NPD) on their election poster “Geld für die Oma statt für Sinti and Roma” [Money for Grandma instead for Sinti and Roma]. The Prosecutor has stopped the enquiries into the posters, as they cannot determine who hung it … REALLY? They know who printed it without doubts.
The German Central Council of Sinti and Roma has vehemently protested.

Switzerland: Harder

January 24, 2018 Published by: RF

The Canton of Bern has decided to harden its policies towards “foreign” Travellers. They are not allowed to camp in sites reserved for the Swiss Travellers and now, “unauthorised” camping on private grounds (even when the ground’s owner has agreed) is a cause for expulsion.
