15% of Beggars are Bulgarian

Published by:

Rroma pickpockets in Paris

Published by:

17 Rroma are on trial in Paris for having pick-pocketed tourists in the capital. Some of them are accused to have transferred back as much as 700’000 EUR. A lot of money.

Again, is it relevant that they are Rroma? If guilty, they are criminals. Ethnicity has nothing to do with this. At most, the fact that they had very little other opportunities in their home countries.

Bologna’s mayor: Again

This is being used to actually deport people as, when they are not in apposition to pay, they de-facto become criminals (they are sent to prison) that can be sent back to their country of origin with an interdiction to come back to Switzerland.
