Slovakia was reprimanded in the European Parliament on its treatment of Roma in Košice and specifically in Lunik IX. Romeo Franz, MEP from Germany and Sinto said “In Košice, Roma cannot take buses on the basis of their ethnic origin and I think this is an aspect that we have to illuminate once more”. The Slovak press is not pleased to say the least.

Very few news on Roma this week in France. Probably due to a more animated political scene in the country at this stage.
First, a video on Roma and their history – no comments on the history ! – showing all these news in France are about less than 16’000 people! In Grenoble, people went to court over the right for lodging while in Fontaine, near Grenoble, as well as in Annecy, two Roma camps are threatened with closure. Finally, in the North, in Lille, people living in camps will be given cheaper passes on public transports.
