Poland: Expulsions – Maybe …

Published by:

The story of the Limanowa housing estate is still going on. The mayor of that city wanted to evict Roma from a building in the centre of town without providing any alternatives. This has been dragging on in courts ever since the Ombudsman started legal proceedings against the municipality.
This is now in the last instance … Let’s see.

French Statistics

The French “index of tolerance” by which the state measures the tolerance towards foreigners and minorities, is fairly stable.
BUT … Roma are at the bottom of the pile. They are the least tolerated minority in France.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

A mixed bag of news this week in France. First, a positive story of two young Roma in a youth communal council near Nantes, in Western France, showing that integration is possible. On the flip side, yet another fire in a Roma camp near that same city. In Lille, in the north, a medical bus is doing the rounds in Roma camps. In Paris, a prefect who seem to ignore the law entirely when he wants to expulse Roma. A festival, “Latcho Divano” aimed at furthering the dialogue between Roma and Gadže opened its doors in Marseilles. And in that same city, a weird story of an abduction of a 3 years old Roma child by his step mother.
