Bulgaria: Mothers Manifest

Mothers of handicapped children have been manifesting in Bulgaria to complain about the help they get and about the minister in charge, Mr. Simeonov who said disparaging things about Roma suggesting among others that they created the handicaps so as to get money from the state.
He should be fired.

Further raids on the houses of the notorious Casamonica Mafia clan of Sinti. They have made the deadlines for a while now, and this is bad publicity for Roma overall.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Many news on camps this week. Main topic, a camp near Paris in Buchelay. The camp is slated for closure but there is no alternative. In the North, a collective defending Roma is set for the long term. They have done a real good job so far. In Western France, in Nantes, a camp burnt down after a fight. In Toulouse, 30 children live in unacceptable conditions; in Sète, in the South of France, a camp is slowly emptying; in Nice, a place to help children after school has just opened; and in the Alps, a squat was evacuated.
