Few news on Roma, which is not surprising, as news are full of other more pressing issues.

Nevertheless, a few things: A meeting from the anti-racism league of France which still uses racist terms and is utterly confused by Roma, insisting there are Travellers, Manouches, Tsiganes, and Roma – the latter ones generally associated to Romania. Bad.

Other news are a fire in a camp ion Lille and angry neighbours of a camp in Villeneuve d’Asc in the North of France; in the southwest, a new camping site for Travellers; and finally, militants that are requesting solidarity with all refugees.
