Interesting mix of articles on Roma this week in the French Press. The first one, in Libération, shows how complicated it is to jump through all hurdles of the French administration and state to integrate. The second is a portrait of a Romni and her life near Paris. Then, the more usual camp stories; Closure in Choisy le Roi; the future of the families of the camp that burnt in Rys Orangis; potential expulsion near Grenoble; and three families transferred to an integration village near Lille in the North.

Very few news on Roma in the French Press this week. First, a map of Lille, in the North of France on the Roma camps to understand the expulsions during the summer of 2018. It clearly shows that the closure of two large camps resulted in many more smaller ones being created. So much for expulsions … Near Paris, a manifestation for Roma who live in a camp that may be closed; the winter pause of expulsions saving a camp; and a clean-up action following a closure. Finally, in Avignon, three Roma schoolchildren live under a tent.
