An article on the successful integration of a young Rromni in France. Nice, were it not for the usual stereotypes that are conveyed in the article…
Petr Torak, a Rrom of Slovak or Czech origin is allegedly the first serving Rrom police officer in the UK. Not bad, when one remembers that the police there is quite racist (see all articles on the MET and their facebook postings).
The Western Austrian State of Vorarlberg plans an “Integration” agreement that refugees and migrants will need to sign…
Daft …
One of the really least researched, most populist articles in the Swiss press in a long time. Low concentration of facts and logic, high populist overtones.
