French Chronicle …

mars 20, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

Almost no news on Rroma this week in France besides the story of the Dutch footballers. A book by a teacher in the Paris suburbs; expulsions threatening the education of Rroma children; some news in the north; and finally, in the 16^th (and posh) arrondissement of Paris, people complaining about a housing centre for migrants and refugees …

Bizarre …

mars 20, 2016 Published by: Roma Foundation

A Romanian former minister states that the Romanian minority in Bulgaria is deprived of its rights … And what does she uses as a claim: Vlax Rroma living in Bulgaria. This is new and as suprising as if Orban were to defend the Hungarian minority in Romania citing that they are Rroma (actually, many Hungarian speakers in Romania are Rroma).
