French Chronicle …

Published by:

Fairly quiet in the French news this week on Roma. An article on the future “transition” camp for Roma near Montpellier which prompted many protests; a fire in Nantes near a Roma camp; an expulsion request of 4 families in Villeneuve d’Asc; and the camp at the end of the Roissy runway near Paris opens again – this clearly showing it would be simpler to lodge those Roma rather than just displace them.

Published by:

A reportage on the Saines Marie de la Mer pilgrimage with all the confusion and stereotypes that the French show between Manouches, Sinti, Roma, Travellers… They seem not to want to get it right.
