France, Front National and Gold Teeth

Published by:

The mayor of the small town of Fontaine, near Grenoble, has decided to ask justice to intervene following the comments of one of the members of the council, the Front National member Franck Sinisi who had proposed to remove gold teeth from Rroma to pay for their lodgings.
This time it seems that the extreme right party is acting fast to limit collateral damage, probably due to the upcoming presidential elections.

Pogrom in Transylvania

Published by:

The small city of Gheorgheni (in Hungarian Gyergyószentmiklós) is a town mostly inhabited by ethnic Hungarians (Székler) in Transylvania.
On Friday, there was a massive pogrom against the Rroma of that city. At least five families were taken out of their houses, beaten up and the houses were burnt to the ground. The police is looking for 20 to 30 people…
Shame!

Rroma Housing in Slovakia

Published by:

A project – DOM.ov – in Slovakia is trying to help Rroma get better housing and build houses rather than continue living in shacks in settlements. The issue is always land ownership and authorisations to built, which are often not given on the site of the settlements.
These two issues prevent many Rroma from building better houses, and leaves them in precatory. The project aims to break up this by legalising the land, and obtaining permits and grants via microcredit.

Italy: More than 1’000 Rroma Threatened with Expulsion

Published by:

More than 1’300 Rroma in Neaple are threatened with expulsions. Their camp will be closed shortly and the municipality will re-lodge only 200 of them.
Same story as in Rome… Who profits from these camps? Same corruption, same unwillingness to find a solution.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Apart from the controversy following an interview of the actors of Clavier’s film, not htat many news in France on the Rroma.
First, an article on the impact of the expulsions on school attendance by Rroma children. Clearly, these expulsions do nothing for integration. Then, near Paris, protests by Rroma in Ivry, following their expulsion and the lack of alternative lodgings; the story of the “insertion village” in St. Genis les Ollières near Lyon; some questions on travellers’ sites in the North of France; near Nantes, 120 expulsed Rroma moved to another site; a protest in Fontaine, near Grenoble (where one FN politician suggested one should take the Rroma’s golden teeth); Rroma asking for a reprive in Nice until Easter; and finally, an association defending Rroma in Toulouse.

A Joke Too Far

Published by:

Controversy in France … During an interview round on the new Clavier Film “A Bras Ouverts” [with open arms] about a French bourgeois lodging a Rroma family, Patrick Cohen found it suitable to say: « Ils envahissent aussi les salles de cinéma ? Pardon… ». [now they are also invading movie theatres]
No comments, apart from the fact that the movie is so full of clichés that it is a shame. No one would have dared to do it on another minority.
