Ukraine – House Arrests

Published by:

Four people are under house arrest in Lviv for the murder against a Rom last June. This definitively seems mild in comparison of the crime. Several of the perpetrators are minors and go to school. They also only face mild penalties (3 to 7 years of jail).

Special Schools

Published by:

Another article about a young Rom from Slovakia who was sent to a “special” school there – schools that lead to nothing, and who emigrated to the UK and is now in university.
Equal chances does help!

Two articles on the situation of Roma in Bulgaria. They somewhat miss the point – Integration was quite extensive in Bulgaria, the situation deteriorated after the fall of communism and with the rise of nationalism…

Begging in Lausanne

Published by:

Following the definitive interdiction of begging in the Swiss city of Lausanne, a plethora of articles on the subject: Roma now asking for work rather than for money, how to enforce the interdiction, etc…
The experience of Geneva shows those interdictions are totally useless.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Very few news on Roma in the French Press this week. First, a map of Lille, in the North of France on the Roma camps to understand the expulsions during the summer of 2018. It clearly shows that the closure of two large camps resulted in many more smaller ones being created. So much for expulsions … Near Paris, a manifestation for Roma who live in a camp that may be closed; the winter pause of expulsions saving a camp; and a clean-up action following a closure. Finally, in Avignon, three Roma schoolchildren live under a tent.

Politicians and Violence

Published by:

An article on the influence of politicians’ speeches and violence. Well said – when Kotleba, a far right politician calls Roma “parasites” – he effectively calls for their eradication.
This has to stop – in all countries.
