Controversy in France … During an interview round on the new Clavier Film “A Bras Ouverts” [with open arms] about a French bourgeois lodging a Rroma family, Patrick Cohen found it suitable to say: « Ils envahissent aussi les salles de cinéma ? Pardon… ». [now they are also invading movie theatres]
No comments, apart from the fact that the movie is so full of clichés that it is a shame. No one would have dared to do it on another minority.

There are great expectations on the conclusion of the people’s initiative regarding the closure of Roma camps. The document, signed by thousands of Roman citizens, was presented in July two years ago to end up in drawers first under Ignazio Marino and then under the Special Commissioner Francesco Paolo Tronca postponing the delicate issue of Roma camps. Today is finally revived thanks to repeated requests by the organizing.
