French Chronicle …

Published by:

Not much in terms of Rroma news in France – must be the result of the Olympic games and a few other prominent news.

What there is, is mainly about the evacuation of the Montreuil camp, near Paris with politicians an activists helping Rroma; about dozens of animals that were abandoned by Rroma when they were forced to leave a camp near Toulouse – bear in mind, they were forced to go, they did not leave by themselves, so whose fault is it? – and finally, also in the South near Montpellier, a fire started at a Rroma camp.

Austria: A Bishop for Integration

Published by:

An Austrian Bishop took part to the memorial of Austrian Rroma murdered in Poland. Just missing the fact that the Austrians were actively involved. His other words about integration, stopping prejudice, are the right ones, and not often heard from the Church.

Hungary Commemorates the Rroma Holocaust

Published by:

Hungary did commemorate the Rroma Holocaust Remembrance day and even unveiled a memorial to it. Frankly said, they should rather ponder about their history (after all, they deported pretty much all Jews and some Rroma by themselves without assistance), and about the future, namely the extreme racism against Rroma in that country.

Great Britain: The most disadvantaged minority

Published by:

The current situation of local Rroma and travellers in the UK and the views of the public. A must read.

Lety: Czech Government wants to buy site

Published by:

The Czech Government stated it is in discussion to buy the pig farm located on the site of the former concentration camp of Lety. This would really close this issue after more than 20 years of protests!

More on the Auschwitz Ceremony

Published by:

A few articles and pictures on the Auschwitz commemoration ceremony on Tuesday.

Another Article on Holocaust

Published by:

An article by Katalin Barsony, a Hungarian Rromni and the director od the Romedia foundation on the Holocaust remembrance day and on the increasing hate towards Rroma in Europe. She is right on this, unfortunately.

We just wish that the term Porrajmos not be used…

France: A different Initiative

Published by:

A more positive twist in France: Volunteers are spending time with children in a Rroma camp near Paris, and are organising activities for the Rroma children.

More of it, please …

Switzerland: Rroma Travellers left Neuchatel …

Published by:

The Rroma who made the headlines in the last month in the Canton Neuchatel apparently left. Not far, that we know, but they are no longer in Neuchatel. A canton that tries to forbid foreign travellers from coming.

Let’s hope a lot more visit them!
