Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Switzerland

Published by:

The Bulgarian press took the statements of the head of the Asylum system in the Canton of Bern for truth: That Roma used faked Ukrainian papers to abuse the Swiss Asylum system. The title is as false and racist: “Roma flock to Switzerland for aid with fake Ukrainian passports.” The picture used is also not relevant, as it shows carriages, which is definitively not the mean of travel chosen by the Ukrainian Roma who ask for asylum in Switzerland.

Ukrainian Roma Children

Published by:

There is an increasing number of Roma children from Transcarpathian Ukraine in need of integration in the education system in Switzerland. Besides the normal language barrier, the main challenge is that many of these children have never been to school in the Ukraine. This poses an even bigger challenge to the towns who have to integrate them.

The Swiss minister in charge of refugees now stats that Ukrainian Roma with dual citizenship will have to leave Switzerland.

Only one little thing is not published: There are less than 10 cases that are officially acknowledged. And none on the Roma who are considered to be “problematic”.

Window dressing in politics. Shameful.

The story of a small village that set up a special class for 6 Roma children from Ukrainian Roma refugees, only to see that they left.

This happens, but generally doesn’t happen just because of school. There are other pressures that are applied to those Roma mostly coming from Transcarpathian Ukraine where they lived in very hard conditions, literally overwhelming them. Some prefer simply to leave.

Ten families, and this is not even proven.

Another article on the recent arrivals of Roma refugees from the Ukraine, mostly from the Transcarpathian region of the country. This follows the statements of the chief of the Bern refugee agency who made comments saying that Roma “abuse” the system, work in “clans” etc.

Bad.

Switzerland: Again 

Published by:

Again, an article about the alleged “abuses” of the special status for Ukrainian Refugees by Roma in Switzerland. This time, it is via an interview of the head of the refugee department of the canton Bern. He panders the usual allegations, false papers, criminal clans, and all the same unproven junk.

He is lobbying against the special status for Ukrainians, and is using Roma for that purpose. Bad and racist.

As usual with some delays, a 1-1 translation of an article published last week in the Tages Anzeiger about Roma refugees from the Ukraine and the suspicions that they are not quite what they claim to be.

This of course without a shred of any evidence…
