French Chronicle …

April 15, 2018 Published by: RF

Few news this week on Roma in France. The main one is the one of a video which is a fake and purportedly shows a Rom aggressing a bus driver in the North of France before being beaten up. The video was shared over 240’000 times! Near Paris, a drunken mayor was arrested after having threatened Roma. He was drink, wore a Japanese sword and had a gun with him.
The rest of the news are more like the usual ones: A camp on Triel sur Seine will be dismantled, the illegal dump attributed in part to Roma in the Yvelines is still a hot topic, and also near Paris, a fight between Roma has one of them landing in a hospital.
