Rroma Children Segregated in Schools
The EU is saying that Rroma children are still being segregated in schools in the EU. Although the article doesn’t mention it, Hungary is at the forefront of this segregation, flowed by other ex-Austro Hungarian monarchy countries.
SHAME!

Jenische, Travellers, and Rroma in Switzerland
Interesting interview and article of Daniel Huber, president of the association of the Jenische – Radgenossenschaft der Landstrasse. What is said about Rroma is beside the point. And a remark that Jenische have equality of genders should at best have been omitted here. Just shows that Rroma are not know there either.
The little side article on different groups is for once quite good. Sinti are with us there.

Germany: Football fans and Rroma/Sinti Fighting
A fight was reported in Lörrach in Southern Germany between football fans and Rroma who lived nearby. Both groups clain the other started. Well, knowing the precedents amongst Football fans, that they would be attacked by Rroma seems a bit far fetched.
Once again, these supporters are not the best breed…

Switzerland: Driving Rroma Out
Rroma (Lovara not Gitanos/Kale as written by this very well informed journalist) are being told they need to leave the camp they are currently occupying near Neuchatel in Switzerland. Increasingly, camping spots are being segregated in Switzerland, with Rroma being kept out …
BAD.

Brexit: What about Rroma?
Bexit is a risk for many Rroma families who moved to the UK in the last few years. Many Polish, Slovak, and many others moved there in search of a better live. What now?

Rroma In Milan: We are not a Security Issue
