Really?

An article about “Ukrainian” (sic.!) refugees complaining being housed in a gym and who are allegedly Roma, not necessarily from the Ukraine.

If you write such articles, you should (a) know what you are talking about  and (b) not make allegations that can neither be proved nor disproved. If the refugees had a Ukrainian ID, they are from the Ukraine. If they are not, it is also pretty easy to know, as they will not speak Ukrainian or Russian.

Crap journalism.

Seems that the old plans of former mayor Raggi to close camps and relocate them are still being enforced. It also seems that the money is totally wasted, not helping relocating Roma.

Unfortunately not surprising.

The rightist Swiss paper the Weltwoche, who has written numerous derogatory articles about Roma and now does the apology of Putin wrote a comment on the new German Anti-Roma Racism commissioner. And what does the Weltwoche have to say: simply that “The anti-Semitism commissioner shows how successful this is: the number of anti-Semitic incidents has been increasing since he came into existence”.

SHAME on them.

Better not be Rom or African at the Ukrainian Slovak border. Bus drivers there refused Roma, even forbade them the use of toilets, and many of them were left for days at the border.

Roma in Slovakia

Roma in Slovakia

A worrisome trend in Slovakia where Roma communities are moved out to outskirts or in formerly vacant buildings and left to rot there. Basically, municipalities try to get rid of Roma and minimise investment to Roma neighbourhood.
