Two articles on Racism in Germany and on the fact that Rroma are the losers of this debate – unfortunately.
A feminist organization is lashing the Finnish government over its treatment of the Rroma minority and especially of its women.
Good!
A Rroma camp was evicted after three years around Milan. Again, a symptom, and lots of energy in combating it instead of finding real solutions …
The international day against Racism was at least celebrated in some countries … Not in all, by far judging by the news coverage.
The current president of the International Romani Union, Normunds Rudevics wrote a letter to the Italian authorities protesting the planned evacuation of a camp with 35 Rroma families near Rome.
An exhibition on Rroma in Alabama…
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…
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 …
Yes, there are Rroma in Australia !
Some more articles on the Dutch Football Fans taunting Rromnja. One commentators said “connards” on French TV – Bravo; a Dutch minister is appalled; and generally, the football fans are presented as what they are: limited bigots!
A police probe in the UK aims at identifying victims of sexual exploitation. This probe involves somehow Rroma – but not only them.
Bad …
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.
SHAME!!!
Two waitresses from Turku in Finland were fined 3’000 Euros for discrimination against Rroma – the waitresses had asked the Rroma to pay in advance…

Better late than never …

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.
An article on the Danish photographer Joakim Esklidsen who published a very nice book a few years back – the Roma Journeys.
Jean-Marie Le Pen has been finally fined condemned and fined 5’000 Euros for his comments on Rroma where he played on the fact that Fly and steal is said “voler” in French, and that as “naturally as birds fly, Rroma steal”…
Took a while …
