Not much news this week on the French front. The story of a rich Frenchwomen helping Romanian Rroma, and the involvement (not so good as always) of the social services; a riot that followed a car accident generated by a Romanian Rrom in the North of France; an expulsion in Nice; and the story of a young girl living in the streets in Menton; while in the West, a camp will now be managed by an association and in Cognac, “Tisganes” are guests for Christmas, with all clichés; finally an initiative to encounter travellers in Eastern France.

Rome: A move on the Camps

Published by:

Now it’s official. On December 21, Roma Capitale, at the request of Laura Baldassarre, the Councillor of People, School and Community Solidarity, suspended calls for tenders for the management of the camps, the so-called “equipped villages”.
This should effectively mean the closure of these camps who are a disgrace.

Germany, Social Help, and the Left

Published by:

Economics Minister and Social Democratic Party chairman, Sigmar Gabriel, called for the curtailing of child allowances for European residents in Germany if their children are not currently living in the country.
He claims: “In some large cities, there are whole streets with run-down estates where immigrants live for just one reason: because they can receive child allowance at a German level for their children who do not live in Germany.”
This is total propaganda …

Berlin, the Subway, and Rroma

Published by:

The person who kicked a young woman down the stairs in Berlin has been identified. He is unfortunately a Rrom from Bulgaria. He is definitively a criminal, and deserves a penalty, but it seems that the papers are more concerned about his ethnicity rather than the facts.
