French Chronicle …

Published by:

Another slow week – actually this is the best news that one can hope. If the trend continues, we will have to discontinue the French chronicle, started at the height of the Valls era. We will keep an eye to see whether this is a real trend or just a lull before the storm.
So what has made the news this week, well, little: In the Lille region in Northern France, the dismantled camps have been re-erected. Real success of the policies … Further news. Four families expulsed from a building belonging to the rail company.
And cherry on the cake, the French are less racist than others. Well …….. In relation.

Less Money

Published by:

The state of lower Saxony in Germany has decided to halve the money that is gives to Roma and Sinti organisations. This will kill quite a few cultural and social programs.
Certainly not the right thing at this stage in Germany.

Rome – Protests

Published by:

In the afternoon of September 13, Roma families of the Camping River camp decided to return to their homes in Via Tenuta Piccirilli 207, on the Tiberina, in the North of Rome. They were protesting against the illegitimate eviction ordered by Matteo Salvini and Virginia Raggi on July 26, 2018: “we want to guarantee a school and a home for all our children: we cannot live on the streets”.
It is a shame …
