Romani Rose: Scheuer is Racist

Published by:

The president of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose, accused Andreas Scheuer, the general Secretary of the CSU in Germany of racism. Scheuer has proposed to give preference to give preference to Christian refugees and migrants.
Romani Rose rightly accuses him of playing with “racist resentment” which is extremely dangerous.

Irish Tinkers – in Germany

This time, not Rroma… A large group of Irish tinkers has been camping in Hessen. Not a usual sight to see them that far off from their country of origin.

Czech Survivors: So little – So late…

Czech Survivors: So little – So late…

Germany will pay 2’500 Euro to Czech Rroma Holocaust survivors. Knowing how many effectively survived (actually almost no Czech Rroma did survive, most Rroma in the Czech Republic are originally from Slovakia, having been moved there by the communists right after the war) and the time passed, this is not going to ruin Germany.

It is almost an insult…

Germany: More on the Regensburg Refugees

A background article on the facts behind the eviction (and arrest) of the Rroma who took refuge in a parish house following their occupation of the Regensburg Cathedral. The role of the church is definitively open to  critique.

Regensburg, Germany: Refugees leave the Parish House

Published by:

Regensburg, Germany: Refugees leave the Parish House

In Regensburg, the Rroma who initially occupied the cathedral and then accepted to move to a parish house have left that parish house. Tow of them, one from Kosovo and the other from Macedonia who are under an expulsion order have been arrested. The rest of the refugees have been handed over to the various authorities in charge of refugees. They most probably will also be deported at some point due to the “safe country” policies of Germany.

SHAME!

Czech Republic: Rroma Holocaust Survivors will be Compensated

Czech Republic: Rroma Holocaust Survivors will be Compensated

After 70 years, Czech Rroma survivors will be compensated by Germany. Nice, but first, there are very few Czech Rroma who survived and then, after 70 years, there aren’t many left …

Germany – Hamburg – More than 100 Children Deported

Germany – Hamburg – More than 100 Children Deported

In the first 6 months of this year, already more than 100 schoolchildren have been deported from the Hamburg region alone. This is mostly the result of the “safe countries” policy of Germany, a policy which affects mostly Rroma from the Balkan.

SHAME!

NPD: Justice Dismisses Case

Published by:

NPD: Justice Dismisses Case

The case brought against the extreme-rightist party NPD in Germany about their poster “Geld für die Oma, anstatt für Sinti und Roma[Money for grandma instead of for Sinti and Roma] has been dismissed. The prosecutor said there was nothing racist or inciting racial hatred in that poster (Really). The Central Council of Sionti and Roma is appalled and actually said that with the prosecutor’s logic, one literally could say “Don’t buy from Jews” and this would not be racist. Or would it be?

Germany / Stuttgart: Begging

Germany / Stuttgart: Begging

A report on begging in Stuttgart and on the actions of the police against it. Again, Rroma are seen as the main  source of beggars (from Bulgaria, Slovakia, and from Romania). Clearly an amalgamation of Rroma to beggars …

Germany: Regensburg Rroma have Moved

Germany: Regensburg Rroma have Moved

The Rroma occupying the Regensburg Cathedral have moved to the parish house of St. Emmeran in Bavaria. According to the refugees, the church was very forthcoming g in helping them.

Meanwhile, there is another article bemoaning the involvement of Antifa (Anti-Fascist Movement) behind the occupation of the cathedral. Adds nothing to the facts, and is just there to discredit the cause that these Rroma are fighting for.

Regensburg: Rroma Occupy the Cathedral

Published by:

Regensburg: Rroma Occupy the Cathedral

A long article in die Welt on the Rroma occupying the Regensburger Cathedral to prosets against their eventual expulsion back to the Balkan, as Germany has declared most countries there as being “safe”. This article asks whether the Rroma have aligned themselves with the Antifa (Anti Fascist Movement) whom die Welt portrays as radical in asylum questions.

Regensburg: Rroma Occupy Cathedral

Published by:

Regensburg: Rroma Occupy Cathedral

Around 40 Rroma are currently occupying the cathedral of Regensburgas a protest against Germany’s declaration of all Balkan countries as being safe, which of course, in many case they are not for Rroma. They are fighting a wave of depurations. One article is neutral, but the article of Breitbart is totally extreme rightist. Bad.

The Church has asked the police not to intervene. GOOD!
