French Chronicle …

Published by:

A presentation by an artist, Tania Magy on Roma art but also on nomadism. Not so great for destroying stereotypes. The Olympic games in Paris are pushing Roma camps outside. Not the effect that was planed. Other news are more of the usual: fires in Roma camps near Paris which are fake news; a caravan exhibition against discrimination near Paris; anger with neighbours near Marseilles; and an unusual reflection that closing camps doesn’t solve the issue in Bordeaux.

Roma in Swiss Press

Published by:

This is the text that is presented in this article: Mirabela, Bobi and Ilie live in Geneva and sleep on the streets, in their cars or in emergency shelters. Due to lack of work, these Roma sometimes beg. However, begging is prohibited in strategic places in Geneva’s public space. Roma are therefore regularly arrested and fined by the police. Their debt can reach astronomical sums and risks being converted into days in prison.

It is true that begging is forbidden. But, there is a whiff of generalisation here… And that is bad.

Voting in Slovakia

Published by:

The story of voting in a village with a majority of Roma. They voted on local elections, but not so much on the national ones.

Slovenia and Roma

Published by:

The number of articles on Roma criminality and problems I exploding in Slovenia.

After more than 31,000 voters’ signatures were collected for amendments to four laws prepared and submitted to the National Assembly, which were prepared by the mayors of 11 municipalities from Southeastern Slovenia and Posavija, the legislative process began. These proposals, although they do not mention Roma, are clearly aimed against them.

The proposed laws received sufficien support in the State Council of the Republic of Slovenia this week. In the coming days, the members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia will begin to decide on changes related to the Roma issue.
