Horse Fair

Published by:

A Travellers and Roma horse fair in Snow, Gloucestershire. This fair has been held for centuries now.
The title and some of the article comments are typical of the way some of the papers write about Roma and Travellers in the UK.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Less news on expulsions, more news, and more reports on the associations fighting for Roma. First, an serious scientific article about the 15 to 20’000 Roma in France (there are more, but as usual, one counts only the ones in the camps). In that context, an exhibition by a Romanian artist in a festival in Western France attempts a dialogue. Then an association in Grenoble that will close down for lack of funds.
This is to be contrasted with potential expulsions in Poissy, in Melun, and one effective camp closure in Créteil, all around Paris. In western France, in Angers, a house is being squatted by Roma and the city’s mayor has been contested for his expulsion policies. Finally, in the North a baby died in a camp.
