French Chronicle …

Published by:

More camps being closed in the Lille region, following the accusations of aggressions by Rroma youngsters, with one camps dismantled in Lille Hellemes; and a collective is asking the Mayor of Lille whether he wants to “clean up” the town of Rroma (Martine Aubry is the socialist mayor of Lille); then a new trend – garbage – with two articles, one on Rroma helping cleaning out their camp, the other stating that tons of garbage were left by Rroma – both are an old story used to justify eviction; some news in the West on the Holocaust; and finally, some better news in Montpellier, with an association calling for the end of stigmatisation of Rroma, and with a mediation being put in place to allow children to attend school.
