Rroma pickpockets in Paris

Rroma pickpockets in Paris

17 Rroma are on trial in Paris for having pick-pocketed tourists in the capital. Some of them are accused to have transferred back as much as 700’000 EUR. A lot of money.

Again, is it relevant that they are Rroma? If guilty, they are criminals. Ethnicity has nothing to do with this. At most, the fact that they had very little other opportunities in their home countries.

Bologna’s mayor: Again

Manes Bernardini from Bologna, again went overboard: He qualified the city of Bologna as a “Zingaropoli” – a “Gypsy Metrople”. He was slammed by the anti-discrimination council anf given a yellow card.

This is not the fist time that Bernardini uses populist anti-Rroma rhetoric. This has to STOP!

Geneva: Fines for begging

Geneva: Fines for begging

Geneva fines beggars. The fine is set at 220.— CHF, a steep sum when one thinks that begging brings in at most 20-30 CHF per day. This is being used to actually deport people as, when they are not in apposition to pay, they de-facto become criminals (they are sent to prison) that can be sent back to their country of origin with an interdiction to come back to Switzerland.

So what …

So what …

Several newspapers reported that one of the suspects in the death of more than 70 migrants who died in a truck in Austria is a Rrom from Bulgaria.

We ask: Is it relevant? NO, ethnicity has nothing to do with this. This was started by the Swiss magazine le Temps and promptly re-taken by a few others.

Young Rroma are proud of their identity

Published by:

During the second Rroma cultural festival in Dortmund, young Rroma took part in a round table aimed at reducing stereotypes. They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.

The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!

Salzburg: Begging interdiction

Published by:

Salzburg joins a series of cities forbidding begging. This measure is more of a populist move than an actual solution. How can one forbid poverty? This is actually what these cities are trying to do.

Anti-foreigner attitude is an issue in all of Germany

Published by:

The anti foreigner attitude is common in the whole of Germany according to a recent research. This attitude extends to Rroma and Sinti who are, after all often enough Germans too!

SCARY
