July 16, 2023 Published by: Roma Foundation

An article about the recent attacks against Roma by Ukrainian refugees and the Roma protests that followed, protests that were supported by extremists. On controversial Roma activist, David Mezei, got close to nationalist movements, who, by the way do not want Roma ion the country.

Bad for all.

French Chronicle …

July 16, 2023 Published by: Roma Foundation

French television followed Roma in Marseilles for 6 months. They say that there are roughly 20’000 Roma who live in ca. 400 camps throughout France.
