Rroma Camp in France: Follow up

September 1, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Apparently, the killer, a 73 years old man, was drunk (2.28 g per litre) and held a grudge against the family. For once, the press is quite restrictive in citation of ethnic origins in this drama. Good, as people’s origins have nothing to do with this tragic event.

Rroma Criminals in UK

August 30, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

The UK press and of course also the Slovak are having a field day after a Rroma gang who had been trafficking young Rroam women from Slovakia to the UK was condemned.

Once again, the deed of a few Rroma is taken as a sign that the entire minority is in fact criminal. This is surely not the case, but is always presented as such in the Press.

A lawyer from Luxembourg, Gaston Vogel recently wrote a letter to the municipality protesting against beggars whom he qualified as “disgusting” and “insolent”, regretting that “nobody deals with this scum” (see second article listed below).

A Luxembourg citizen staged a protest action against these comments by symbolically begging in the city as an act of solidarity. Well done!
