The Hessen Government in Germany wants to protect the graves of persecuted Rroma and Sinti. This follows a move of several other Laender in Germany who insisted that these graves need to be preserved.
Good, and may they rest in peace at last.
A crime boss who happens to be also a Rrom from Croatia can stay in Denmark. He is a criminal and claims to be the boss of Rroma in that country.
Well, as one says in the Balkans, he was under the bridge. And he is a criminal and should be treated as such. Ethnicity has lost nothing here.
Italy is registering an increase of foreign children in their school system, including many Rroma.
An article on Rroma. Good – especially saying that the visible ones are just the tip of the iceberg. Most Rroma are not like the stereotypes!
A Hungarian Rroma family in Canada has won a reprieve. They will not be expulsed. Good, and let’s hope they can stay!
Oh well, unfortunately, not so far from reality …
France was condemned by the UN for police violence overall, also concerning Rroma …
What will await us there if the FN takes power 🙁
After a pause due to Easter (not in France – on the redaction side), a further French chronicle. Actually very quiet, as this is the season where expulsions are the norm.
In Annet sur Marne, judges ordered the expulsion of the Rroma camp; in Roubaix, the decision of the judges is still reported, and the future of that particular camp is still in the cards; in Lens, a collective supporting Rroma is asking for financial support; a manifestation for supporting Rroma attracted less than 50 people, BAD; a young Rrom was electrocuted while playing in a squat; in Saint Denis, north of Paris, residents protested against illegal vendors and Rroma by organizing a market on the street; and finally, a positive note in the North of France on social lodgins and so-called insertions villages.
For the 6th of May, St Georges’ day, or Erdelezi in the Balkan, here is an interesting article about Rroma, the persecutions, non-integration, and life on the brim.
It has been 20 years since the project started. There are now more than 60’000 spread all over Germany, remembering victims of the Holocaust and where they lived. They honoured Jews, Rroma, and others who were killed in the Nazi madness.
Let’s remember them all, and well done as a project!
Latest on begging in Sweden… Well, it is not forbidden, but beggars “limit access for disabled people” … What else?
An article on Rroma in Italy. Well done, it states the correct facts, and the reality. According to the article, there are approximately “180,000 Roma and Sinti […] currently living in our country. In fact, most of them live, work and lead a normal life while, according to the association July 21, about 35,000 live in emergency housing, and nearly 20,000 of them in formal settlements. This is basically 0.06% on the Italian population (tiny percentage compared to the media coverage)”
A good Read!
A Turkish art project aims at bridging the divide between ethnic groups in that country.
Well Done!
The fate of a school in Glasgow where almost none of the 222 enrolled children speaks English and where the majority of them (181) are Rroma children from Slovakia and Romania makes the headlines in the UK.
While the Times is relatively neutral, the Daily Mail and others are really rabid. Rroma are being used to influence the vote in June, no doubt.
A comic strip on the fate of Rroma and the discrimination they constantly face. Unfortunately, the comic strip also conveys many of the stereotypes on Rroma.
An exhibition on the Holocaust of Rroma in Bohemia and other Czech lands is opening this week. Good one speaks about it, as the Czech lands were nearly totally cleaned of Rroma in World War Two. And not all by German Nazis, by far not.
Bravo !
A new Network of Diasporas has been started at an EU conference, networking Jews, Armenians, Rroma, and Assyrians.
An action for the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust in Austria.
