Slovakia: A Review of the EU Survey

Published by:

A Slovakian view on the EU survey which interviewed a number of Rroma in that country. The results for Slovakia are bad. Children go to sleep hungry, do not go to school, families have no water, no toilet, entire families are unemployed, etc.

European Union Admits Failure

Published by:

The European Agency of Fundamental Rights admitted failure in stopping the discrimination against Rroma. Again the 80% figure of Rroma living under poverty. We repeat, it is 80% of the 36’000 interviewed Rroma. This is different, but it seems that some journalists ought to go back to school and learn about percentages.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Usual lot of news in France. First, a mayor in the XVth Arrondissement in Paris refused the access to the school canteen to 20 poor children, many of which were Rroma. His ratiuonale, they were getting a free lunch funded by Emmäus, a chrity, close to the school. BAD!
Other than that: A fire in a squat near Paris puts 50 people out in the street; a new solution is proposed to the Rroma who were expulsed in Montreuil more than hundred days ago and whose children are not is school as they have no permanent residence; another fire in Marseilles; better news in the North of France, with a collective helping Rroma integrate, the story of Rroma who are there since 6 years, and the constriction of social housing; and in the West, the creation of four or five camping sites for Rroma (it is an obligation in France) and the questions of a cleanup of former camping sites that are full of garbage, although often not left by Rroma).

Slovakia: Education and Rroma

Published by:

Education for the Rroma minority is failing. Rroma, who are often put into special schools are de-facto barred from higher education, be it secondary or higher. This even though it is proven, that education is the best way to prevent unemployment.

First a movie comparing the integration of Portuguese and Rroma in Ivry, near Paris; then the story of a pro-Rroma militant who was getting paid to expulse them (YES!!!); the dreation of a collective for helping Rroma in the North; the story of Rroma squatting a school and the story of Rroma finally finding a place to stay in the North; a fire in a camp in Marseilles; and the usual story about the Rroma from Montreuil who still have no abode.

Lots of expulsions in the region around Paris. This in spite of the winter and the normal winter pause of such evictions. In Seine et Marne, a large Rroma camp was cleared; 5 camps were cleared in the Essonnes department, for example in Tarterêts; another camp in the Yvelines was also closed; several people were evicted in Argenteuil and stood in front of the St. Denis Basilique in protest; in Montreuil, the families evicted in July still have found no housing; in Coflans St. Honorine, near Paris, Rroma travellers squatted the schoolyard of a local high-school; in Ivry, an association celebrated their work for Rroma; some ecologist activists helped clean up a camp of Rroma travellers; in Lyon, two families were evicted; and near Bordaux, Bulgarian Rroma are accused of having prostituted their children.

A school named after Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (1891 – 1956), an Indian lawyer coming from the Dalits in a Rroma settlement aims at helping Rroma out of the exclusion which is too often the norm in Hungary. The school is run by Janos Orsos, a Rrom who converted to Buddhism.

UK: 1st Year Pupils’ Statistics

Published by:

The UK released comprehensive statistics about the performance and capabilities of 1st year school children. As is the case in the UK, ethnicity is also recorded. Rroma and travellers’ children are doing particularly badly in this context. Not surprising if one consider that (a) most Rroma are very recent migrants from Eastern Europe and Balkans and (b) integrated Rroma almost never reveal their identity openly.

France: School and Rroma Migrants

Published by:

Several articles this week on the schooling of Rroma migrants. According to the press, one in 5 mayor in France is “reticent” to take Rroma children in school. More than half of the young adults living in camps have totally dropped out of school. Luckily there are also volunteers who teach reading in writing to young children in the camps themselves. For a country that prides itself to have “universal” access to school, SHAME.
