Ukraine – C14 Again

Published by:

The ultra-nationalist movement C14 did it again: This time they “cleaned” the Kiev main railway station of Roma.
Bad.
But what is worse, is that effectively most people will applaud, as the Roma in the railway station were camping there, begging and were often accused of stealing.

Fraud …

Published by:

This is bad: A network of welfare fraud for at least 1.7 million euros in the North has been dismantled and three Roma have been indicted for organised fraud. Agents of the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) and the social regime of the self-employed (RSI) had reported mid-2017 the abnormal increase, in a few months, of the constitution of files – 1,200 by Roma entrepreneurs living in Valenciennes.

According to a source close to the survey, young women declared themselves self-employed in metal recycling, then declared false pregnancies supported by the RSI. Money was then transferred to Romania and invested in real estate. Three Roma, two men and a woman aged 27 and considered as the head of the network, were arrested this week, indicted for organized fraud, forgery and use of forged, and imprisoned.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

A new movie aims at deconstructing the stereotypes on Roma in Marseille – this is new in France. In Sètes, in the South, a temporary camp will be closed mid-November. In Montreuil, near Paris, yet another evacuation, and a pledge for the children who are the victims of such evacuations, losing their right to attend school in the process. Near Paris, in Noisy le Grand, a squat is provoking tensions in the neighbourhood. In the North, a Romni who is part of an integration program is again expulsed – nasty. Finally, the story of a young Rom from Romania who has created is own enterprise in Strasbourg.
