A new memorial on the memory of murdered Sinti was inaugurated in a suburb of Mainz.
It is also meant to warn against new developments and increasing racism against Roma and Sinti.

Once again, the German NPD party (extreme right) uses its famous poster: “Money for grandma instead for Sinti and Roma”. The real shame is that the courts did not condemn this poster.

The rape and murder of Viktoria Marinova, a journalist took yet another turn after it was reported that the suspect, a Bulgarian arrested in Germany, is apparently a Rom.

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.
