Germany: Brawl

Published by:

In a mass brawl in a parking lot in Düsseldorf, a man drove his car into a group of people and injured several people. Five men were so badly injured in the incident early Saturday morning that they had to be taken to hospital for treatment, police and prosecutors said. After outpatient treatment, the men were released.

Witnesses estimated that up to 50 to 60 participants took part in the brawl, as reported by the “Neue Ruhr Zeitung”, citing a police spokeswoman. The participants apparently came from the Sinti and Roma milieu.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Interesting week about Roma in the French press. First, an article about a “reportage” on Travellers in France that simply panders to the worst common stereotypes. This is definitively not journalism, but rather disinformation, unfortunately watcher by 2.9 Mio French. In Mulhouse, in Eastern France, there will be an information day on Roma and Travellers. In Grenoble, in the Southeast, young Roma can do sports. Then, an article about the rumour about a traffic of human organs and abduction, all involving Roma. The article investigates where the rumour started and how it spread through social media. Finally, a more common news in Toulouse, where Roma camping near the river have been told to leave.
