Not much about Roma in the French press this week either. A festival in Perpignan, in Southern France showcasing the work of a Romanian photograph, who, sorry to say, perpetuates stereotypes; and the evacuation of one of the oldest Roma camps near Paris, in la Courneuve. The camp was established in 2008. An no one asks why 80 families had to stay there for 16 years …

Very few news this week in France on Roma. The expulsion of 60 Roma who worked in vineyards in the Bordeaux region. Apparently, their fourth expulsion in less than a year. Shame that they cannot be properly lodged. Near Paris, another camp was evacuated, to accommodate the Paris Olympics skatepark.

Almost nothing this week in France about Rom. Just the story of the closure of a camp near Strasbourg. This story is typical of the way France deals with such things: 120 Roma settled near a highway access ramp in 2019. They slowly built a maeksift camp, and now, the camp has been closed for being insalubrious.

Frankly, it was the case since the beginning. Its inhabitants have yet to be permanetly re-located.

Leeds: The Children are Back

Juli 24, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

The children whose removal prompted the start of the riots are back with their family. The whole story is a bit more complex than at first sight: The children were placed with relatives several months ago, following an unexplained skull fracture of the youngest baby in the family. They cannot be with their parents until the toddler’s case has been judged and resolved, hence their placement with relatives.
