French Chronicle …

Published by:

Very few news this week around Rroma in France – probably because between Trump and Fillon – the presidential candidate mired in an affair of fictitious jobs for his wife – left nop space in the papers for Rroma …
The petite ceinture camp in the North of Paris is not yet closed and can stay; a camp in Villiers le Bel, near Paris, has been closed; the story of a camp in the South West, miserable; and finally, children as the victims of the life in the street.

For example advocating segregation in schools (for the good of the Rroma – according to Mr. Balog, Human Resource Minister), and many more “good” deeds.

Croatia, Holocaust and Boycott

Published by:

This year, Jews again boycotted the Croatian commemorations of the Holocaust. Several Rroma organisations too, although several other did attend.
An explanation of why this boycott: The history is being quietly rewritten in Croatia, and the crimes of the Ustasha and the murders they committed are being retouched.
Rroma and Jews were their victims in camps such as the infamous Jasenovac.
