Some travellers stopping over in Austria are making headlines. The issue is that there are not camping sites open for them, and they thus have to find other places to stay. Some of the right-wing politicians are instrumentalizing Roma for political gains.
The Swedish Institute for Language and Folklore ISOF has filed a criminal complaint for the first time.
Unit manager Ester Enhsmyr wrote to Radio Romano that it concerns the Sinti and Roma Council in Umeå, which has submitted deficient accounts of contributions of SEK 100,000 thousand (roughly 8’600 euros).
There has been a large riot in Leeds, UK, with police cars overturned, a bus set afire, and reports of looting and other property damages.
Why did they occur: Apparently, a family with 5 children had a toddler admitted in hospital with head injuries. Social Services decided immediately to take over all 5 children while the parents were away working. This resulted in a clash, with police intervention, and the whole situation escalated rapidly.
There is so far no official statement on this, and the protagonists are reported to be of Romanian origins. Romanians on social media of course said these were Roma, which is probable.
Really bad.
