Virginia Raggi, the new Five Stars mayor of Rome is getting more and more flak on her administration of the city and amongst this, about the Rroma camps. In spite of her promises, she continues the previous administration’s policy and continues to finance the camps, even planning to expand them.
For this, she is being criticised by the Rroma roganisations.

Roma: 5 Stars and Rroma Camps

Published by:

The new 5 Stars Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, had promised to close the Rroma camps that surround the capital and which are financed by the city (with lots of corruption …).
Instead, the city has just put out a new tender for a new camp to be built for 12 Mio Euro.
SHAME and broken promises.

Rroma write to Rome’s Mayor

Published by:

Rroma write to Rome’s Mayor

The new mayor of Rome, Virgina Ray is on collision course with Rroma in the capital. Latest issue are statements of one of the councillors, Paula Murano who made statements that Rroma organisations deemed demagogy: Pointing at a Rrom rummaging in a wastebin, she said that is she would do it, she would be arrested, but in the case of Rroma and immigrants, nothing happens.

Rroma organisations wrote to the mayor, saying that there is a phenomenon of poverty, that has nothing to do with the criminalisation of an ethnic minority.

Policemen sharing bribes with the Rroma head of a camp in charge of allocating housing units is yet another example of the blatant corruption that keeps the camps in Italy going. Better close them once and for all.

Italy’s Infamous Rroma Camps

Italy’s Infamous Rroma Camps

An article about life inside one of these Rroma camps in Italy. One thing is somewhat missed here: Rroma are still being kept in those camps by an alliance between the State administration, the police and NGOs who are all present there. And the latest arrests in Rome have shown that the mafia hugely profited from these camps too. The comparison to Auschwitz is very much not the right one here.

Mateo Salvini, the leader of the rightist Northern League visited a Rroma camp near Rome. He was promptly insulted by the Rroma there on the basis of his general statements on Rroma.

Italy: Reality and Coverage

An article on Rroma in Italy. Well done, it states the correct facts, and the reality. According to the article, there are approximately “180,000 Roma and Sinti […] currently living in our country. In fact, most of them live, work and lead a normal life while, according to the association July 21, about 35,000 live in emergency housing, and nearly 20,000 of them in formal settlements. This is basically 0.06% on the Italian population (tiny percentage compared to the media coverage)”

A good Read!
