Poland and Roma

Published by:

Poland and Roma

A typical article on Roma. This time, they state “The world of the Roma, despite being so close to us, still appears to many Poles as a hermetic, closed world. Undoubtedly, Roma artists bring it closer to us.”  They thus manage a set of stereotypes in one go. It gets worse, as they also say that one of the most popular gypsy artists in Poland, Patrycja Runo was cursed by some of the Roma because she fell in love with a Pole.

In recent days, a video recording the performance of Roma bands in Krupówki has become a hit on the Internet. However, the opinions of Internet users about this artistic attraction are divided.

Poland: Eviction

Published by:

In Maszkowice, South Eastern Poland, a group of 11 Roma houses are being threatened with destruction for having been built illegally. One Rom is threatening to hang himself should this come true.
This technique (illegally built buildings) is increasingly used by several countries to evict Roma. And one needs to note that most of the houses in the countryside in Eastern Europe are illegally built in the first place.

Limanowa

Published by:

The story of the re-housing of the Roma away from the centre of the Polish town of Limanowa is continuing. The mayor of that town bought a house in another town to re-house the Roma away from the centre of his town. The other place did not want the Roma either… Since then, there have been a succession of judgements against Limanowo, apparently to no avail yet.
