The Third Way

Published by:

An analysis of why the “Third Way” – or the policies that Virginia Raggi, Rome’s mayor – has put in place have failed. The third way was meant to close the camps who were run by the state and NGOs and subject to a mafia racket, and to integrate the Roma with the help of EU funds.
Now, this is more pure expulsions.

Really something one doesn’t need. A fight between Roma in the streets of a small German city.

Breitbart again. This time, on the aggression in Western France of a woman by four men. The serious press reported the facts, said that 4 were arrested, one thanks to DNA (See the second article). What does Breitbart do? Reports that these are most probably Roma.
Could be, but is it relevant? They also got the age of the victim wrong … Probably they can’t really read.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

The usual type of news in France this week … Evacuation of a large Roma camp in Western France in Nantes. Caravans were taken away by the police, leaving the Roma without any lodgings. The Roma blocked a road as a protest. In Lille, in the North of France, Roma are between inclusion and exclusion, a camp is closed, and in Roubaix, a bit further, a squat was evacuated. Worst part, a Gadžo was condemned to 8 years of jail for having abused Roma children. In Meulin, near Paris, Roma can still stay in a former hospital and their neighbours are not happy. Still near Paris, in Périgny, a camp was closed. Finally, near Lyon, the insertion village of Saint-Genis-les-Ollières will be getting closed.
