French Chronicle …

Published by:

Many news in France on Salvini’s suggestion to count Roma, and several articles on the Ukraine this week. First, several arrivals from Albania in Western France. The local prefect “suspects” the existence of a criminal ring helping them arrive there. Nearby, a mayor is insinuating that Roma are responsible for the increased criminality. Then, the more usual news with a fire in a camp in the North and, following a fire of criminal nature in a camp near Grenoble, associations have made a formal complaint. Finally, an expulsion near Paris.

What is always missing are the facts about Roma: There are the Carpathians one, the effective victims of the latest attacks, the refugees from Dombas (and from Crimea – Kirimlides Roma from Crimea), Roma of Romanian / Moldovan origins in the Odessa region, and the rest. The situations are different depending on these groups.

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma who are camping in a railway station in Kiev. Both extremely critical of the Roma and definitively portraying them with all stereotypes, including using verbs like “polluting” etc… In brief, quite racist.
These same papers have been very critical of the Ukrainians for not doing anything on the attacks and here, do not dwell on the fact that these Roma are from Donetsk, and, like many others have been driven out of the region by the separatists.

Ukraine, Roma, and Work

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma in the Ukraine. Basic statement therein: Roma have difficulties in finding jobs, and thus they have many children and live of the money they receive for them from the social service.
All stereotypes are present here and of course it generalises … Fact is, there are many integrated Roma in the Ukraine. There are also many Roma refugees from the Dombass, they were driven out and have not been allowed to return. And in Western Ukraine, in the former parts of the Austro Hungarian Empire, the Roma situation is really bad.
