French Chronicle …

February 6, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

Not much this week, which in itself is good. The music festival “Welcome en Tsiganie” celebrates its 15^th upcoming edition, although frankly, it also perpetuates some clichés about Roma. Other than that, a peasant angry at Roma for littering his field near Paris; in the South, a violent fight between 4 Kosovo Roma; also in the South, a mayor tries to hinder Roma from setting up new camps by mobilising hunters (yes!); in Grenoble, another squat; and finally, in the north, 3 Roma arrested for suspected stealing of metal from cemeteries have been freed.

Alina Serban

February 6, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

An article in French on Alina Serban’s latest theatre play. One should contrast the way the French speaking press reports on it with the way the German and English speaking one does.

The French have a long way to go.
