French Chronicle …

February 10, 2019 Published by: RF

Not much this week in the French Press on Roma. An article in Libération investigates the views of the French state on Roma – albeit using itself derogatory terminology. In the North of France, a mayor who made derogatory comments on Roma in 2013 has problems with the justice, and his town is paying for it (yes!). Then more usual news, with a clean-up on a site of a former camp and a respite for some Roma near Paris.
