Gens du Voyage …

Gens du Voyage …

The lack of news on Rroma in France is more than compensated by the number of articles on the Gens du Voyage – Travellerr, who are represented as criminals, undesirable, and generally as not integrated.

First, news about several camps of Travellers, in Saint Laurent de Mure, in Argentan, near Verdun, near Reims, close to Paris and in the West; and several discussions on or about camping spot for travellers in Niort, in Perros, in Indres et Loire, in the North, in Samois, in the park of a castle; and finally two more positive things – an interpellation of a minister in the parliament, and a discussion about the sedentarisation in Limoges.

After the camps, crime … And there the list is long. Police hunted away from a camp in Vernouillet near Paris; arrests in Toulouse and investigation nearby; some stolen goods found in the South West; 22 cars damaged near Toulouse; shots in a camp near Paris; three Romanians condemned in the South East; a Rrom sentenced for having shown a fingers to Valls; Police searching for witnesses in a series of burglaries in the North; and finally, a not so clever thief…

French Chronicle …

Almost no news on Rroma this week in France besides the story of the Dutch footballers. A book by a teacher in the Paris suburbs; expulsions threatening the education of Rroma children; some news in the north; and finally, in the 16th (and posh) arrondissement of Paris, people complaining about a housing centre for migrants and refugees …

Bizarre …

Bizarre …

A Romanian former minister states that the Romanian minority in Bulgaria is deprived of its rights … And what does she uses as a claim: Vlax Rroma living in Bulgaria. This is new and as suprising as if Orban were to defend the Hungarian minority in Romania citing that they are Rroma (actually, many Hungarian speakers in Romania are Rroma).

Breizh-info produced yet another scandalous article with all stereotypes such as criminality, poverty, begging, etc., and full of generalizations. In addition, as the journalists mixes up travelers, Rroma, nomads, he shows his total lack of knowledge and his true intent: Showing Rroma as dirty, poor beggars and thieves.

Italy: Controversy on the “Managed Villages”

Several Italian Rroma organizations are protesting the tender for managing segregated Rroma villages that are meant to replace the current squats. This has already been tried in Italy and is the main reason why there are still so many camps around cities and the capital in particular.
