Slovenia: Attack

Published by:

Slovenia: Attack

Unfortunately, yet another story in the Slovenian press about Roma attacking non-Roma Slovenes, this time in Šentjernej. The victim is Andrej Brečko. A little over a week ago, he participated in a parliamentary commission where they discussed the Roma “issue”, and now the Roma are apparently taking revenge on him and intimidating him. He described on the social network Facebook what exactly happened on the night from Thursday to Friday. “It’s been exactly a week since the last Roma vandal attack on our property and car, and tonight Roma vandals broke a window on the greenhouse again”. HE was also physically aggressed on a second occasion.

Well, we can imagine what they discussed at this session, and why Roma might be offended.

Bulgaria: Outrage

The recent attack by a Roma youngster resulted in outrage. This editorial basically says that Roma are being treaded to kindly. The journalists Anton Stefanov says “There is no age to be a freak – how long will being a minor protect you?!”

“It is precisely because of the powerlessness of the state that there should be no mercy after this case! Because tomorrow there will be fists for other children too”

French Chronicle …

Many articles this week in France. Most were devoted to the acquittal of the mayor of Villeron, near Paris and of 5 of the residents of that town for having voluntarily chased away Roma from a camp and destroyed their housing two years ago. The mayor clamours he is not a racist, well, that can be discussed, and one Romani organisation is considering an appeal to that decision. The other news with several articles is a fire in a Roma camp near Paris in Ris-Orangis. Other news are the usual ones: In Western France, how to distribute the “effort” among communes, i.e. how to apportion Roma to different towns; and the story of a landowner whose land has been occupied by Roma.
