Children were removed by court order from a Rroma family in Ireland. The children had lice, ringworm, little to eat. All the signs of poverty. Not much that is Rroma specific. Yet, this is what comes out of the article.
Bad journalism, and bad for the children.
– Family Court: Roma children in uninhabitable house. In: The Irish Times. 19.06.2016. http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/family-court-roma-children-in-uninhabitable-house-1.2691209
When Football is king, there are certainly less news about Rroma. Very few news this week in France. In Loos, in the North, the camp was finally dismantled, and burnt down, only two families found a new lodging; in Annet sur Marne, near Paris, the Rroma left leaving lots of garbage; in Cuges, in the South, the mayor calls for blocking travellers from camping there; and in the Alps, travellers finally left La Vue des Alpes.
On a more positive touch, Médecisn sans Frontières is deeply engaged in the North helping Rroma; and in Sètes, in the South, a story on inclusion in School.
The French Association SOS Racisme is calling for a ban of the Croatian supporters’ song “Lijepa Li si” a song that was composed by an ultra-nationalist Marko Perkovic, an admirer of the Ustacha. The song also promotes the conquest of Bosnian lands …
The EU awarded a prize to Greek children for their drawings on Rroma inclusion.
The Swedish state was ordered to pay damages to Rroma who sued the state for having kept a police register on Rroma.
GOOD!
An article about Soros, Rroma, and what needs to be done!
Interesting article showing how anti-Rroma Pegida and the AFD truly are.
Scary.
Demonstrators protested in Germany against the current asylum policies of the German state, who, having declared several Balkan countries as safe countries, are systematically denying asylum claims by Rroma from these countries.
The Front National French Mayor of Cogolin in the South, Marc-Étienne Lansade, is back on the headlines. This time, not for his actions against Rroma – he was the one who posted on facebook boasting that he was cleaning Cogolin of Rroma, but because his financial skills are definitively not good, or even potentially criminal…
This week’s news summary from France. Not so much, which is not surprising, as there were other news in the front pages.
In Lille, Rroma are told to leave France and to move to another place, to Vauban; in the North again, a difficult cohabitation between local travellers (i.e. Manouches) and Rroma; and a police action and a tumultuous municipal council in Loos, in the North of France.
Then two articles on schools one about the inclusion of migrants, the other about pollution near a school where Rroma are.
And finally, of course the usual crime stories with a reported increase of break in in the West and pickpockets in the South.
The Appleby Horse Fair is in full swing!
More on the shopkeeper who wants to keep Rroma out of her shop.
SHAME!
Germany is investigating pictures taken by Neo Nazis inside Buchenwald.
SHAME
Lots of articles in Switzerland about ca. 350 Rroma from France travelling through Switzerland. And not all good. Rather bad press. All stereotypes are there.
Like in the Nazi days, or like in the Czech Republic, this time in Berlin Neukölln: A shopkeepers puts up a sign against Rroma.
SHAME!!!
An article about Rroma and higher education. However, saying that Hungary “leads the way” is truly misleading.
An article about the Hungarian collective “Most”, engaging itself for Migrants and Rroma.
Well done!
The centre left candidate to the election of the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Giachetti, said he will aim to integrate the Rroma, should he be elected. This is good. Let’s close the camps and act against the mafia that was running them!
More news this week on Rroma, particularly in the North. First, a story about street view and the Rroma in Lille; then, tensions between Rroma squatting houses and their neighbours in Maubeuges and Roubaix; a camp that will be dismantled, sometimes; near Paris, the story of a school in a caravan for young Rroma children; shots fired at a Rroma camp in the south of France in Montpellier; and finally, a story of thefts perpetrated by young Rroma children.
More on the police action against Rroma who were protesting for the right to stay in Germany.
SHAME
