It turns out that the person beaten up was a foreigner, but not a Ukrainian.

Bad.

Switzerland, Ukrainian Refugees, and Roma

Published by:

An “article” about Roma refugees from the Ukraine in Switzerland, claiming they cash in the money and then leave again and come back after a while. The accusations are anonymous (diverse sources say …) or attributed to an Ukrainian.

When you know that the daily stipend of an adult refugee is less than 20 CHF per day and half that for children, this makes little financial sense but again, it portrays Roma as profiteers and liars.

Bad.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Another instance of these “reportages” on French TV on “Gypsy” weddings. Again, they give the impression that all Roma are like this and perpetuate these clichés. In Marseilles, a new “insertion” village for Roma will be created. In Bordeaux, the largest camp was closed. In Strasbourg, politicians bemoan that trying to help Roma is going to cost them the election. Finally, an “article” about criminal Roma on the site of a former TV anchor, Jean Marc Morandini, who was condemned and continued his work on the very rightist CNews.
