Switzerland: A FIRST!!!

Published by:

There seems to be change in the air. For the first time, politicians were condemned for racism against Roma. In this case, the leaders of the youth fraction of the SVP, the rightist populist party in Switzerland were condemned for a cartoon against Roma travellers.
A first, and hopefully, this will slow down these kind of actions.

Limanowa

Published by:

The story of the re-housing of the Roma away from the centre of the Polish town of Limanowa is continuing. The mayor of that town bought a house in another town to re-house the Roma away from the centre of his town. The other place did not want the Roma either… Since then, there have been a succession of judgements against Limanowo, apparently to no avail yet.
