Only a few news this week on Rroma in France. The fate of the Rroma from Montreuil who were evicted in July still dominate the news. Frankly, had half the energy that has been put into news, manifestations and other activities be invested into solving the issue, these people would have a house by now. Now, the are threatened with being expelled from France. Among the other news, a fire in a Rroma camp in Grigny, near Paris; neighbours protesting a Rroma squat near Paris; in Western France, in Caen, Rroma from Albania are occupying a house; and finally in the South West, after their eviction, Bulgarian Rroma are sleeping in tents in Mérignac.

Germany, Bulgaria, and Prostitution

Published by:

The story of a Bulgarian Rromni forced into prostitution by Bulgarian men – ethnicity not specified. Sad but this unfortunately happens. Let’s hope the men will be condemned appropriately.

Slovakia: Economic Growth as a Social Engine

Published by:

A commentary from Slovakia arguing that the increased growth experienced by the country recently can be an engine for the integration of Rroma in that country. Slovakia is increasingly importing workers from as far as Bulgaria and is only slowly starting to hire local Rroma. And there are more than enough who are willing to work.

Another Blunt Article …

Guess what, lots of immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria, mostly Rroma – says who? – and thus “massive abuses” of the welfare system.

This article is typical of what should not be done: Sensation, generalisation, and ethnic branding…

SHAME.

Bulgaria: Indictment

Published by:

The central Bulgarian town of Pazardzhik is banning for the full veil being worn by some Rroma women. This is bad, but actually what is worse is that even under the Ottomans, Rroma never ever wore the veil … Fanaticism is doing headways. Dangerous.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

French Chronicle …

And the spring comes, and camps are dismantled or at least threatened … The French constant. In Ris Orangis, near Paris, a camp was dismantled; in Annet sur Marne, the tribunal will decide on May 6th about the camp, a camp which has neighbours up in arms; in Lyon, a new camp in the city; in the North, Rroma are being displaced to a new location in Vauban amidst opposition; and near Paris, a commune searches for a solution for sedentarised travellers.

Meanwhile, former residents of a camp in Paris are looking for a new address; and mayors in several cities in France are really increasing their racist rhetoric. Finally, a Bulgarian death in a camp lands in front of the justice – with the usual background of “human trafficking”.
