Xavier Bertrand, deputy mayor of Saint-Quentin in the North of France affirmed that travellers had military weapons. The former ministers wants to disarm them to prevent violence like the recent murder in a camp in the north of France.

This is definitively DAFT! But the Figaro went a step further…

While saying that no, travellers have no military weapons, it manages to say that all Rroma are stealing and dealing with stolen goods. Nice generalisation.

UNACCEPTABLE!

There was a clash between police and Rroma in a Rroma settlement near Kosice in the East of the country. The police claims they were attacked by around 200 Rroma. The Rroma version is of course different. They say the police beat up a man sleeping outside. The truth will never fully be known, but the track record of the Police in Slovakia is bad.

A court in the Czech Republic condemned a real estate agent to apologise to a Rromni after having denied her a rental based on her ethnicity.

GOOD, but still a drop of water on a very hot stone. Racism against Rroma is all too common in the Czech Republic.

How daft…

Some populists miss no occasion to be populist, prejudiced, racist, and spread idiotic information. This is the case here with Breitbart, a conservative US based news Network. Based on a fight between two Romanian Rroma families in Essen Germany, and the fact that a German newspaper also cited “Arabs” and criminals in the report, Breitbart makes a headline of criminal Gypsy and Arab gangs.

One should say STOP RACISM and START THINKING! This is not journalism, this is actual idiocy. It has to stop.

Street Fight in Essen

Street Fight in Essen

A street fight in Essen between two Rroma groups – probably from Romania, degenerated into a real street battle involving up to over 1’000 people according to police source. Thses fights continued later on.

This has given opportunity to several papers to equate all Rroma with criminal and to “throw in” an ounce of “criminal Arabs” into the fray to give a view that all migrants are surely criminals and that one needs to get rid to them.

Let’s call this by it’s name: This is POPULISM and RACISM.

In Crimea and in the Dombass (where the new autonomous region is being carved out), human rights for minorities, for Tatars and Rroma, but also for LGBT and religious minorities are under threat.

Expulsions and hard rules in Slovakia

The town of Banovce in Slovakia is implementing hard rules against the Rroma minority: If a family breaks public order or housing rules three times, it will be expulsed. These measures are meant to “protect” decent people from the noise and nuisance of the Rroma. In fact, this is an expulsion measure and as such cannot be tolerated.

SHAME.

A young Rroma girl made it to the headline for having an IQ higher than Einstein and Hawkins. Good for her!

BUT !!!!

Why did all the papers dwell on her origins? Is it so surprising that there can be smart Rroma? All journalists seem somewhat surprised by this.

Warning on modern racism

Published by:

Warning on modern racism

Nils Muižnieks, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights, warned against the modern racism against Rroma while at the commemorations of the Rroma Holocaust. We cannot but agree with him here.

In the article, the term of “Porajmos” is used. This term has often been put in conjunction with the Rroma Holocaust. Actually, it means a sexual rape, and is only understood in some Vlax dialects. This term should not be used at all in this context.
