SHAME

Hungary and Rroma Education

Published by:

The EU warned Hungary about the discrimination of Rroma in the country’s school system. De facto, schools are segregated and Rroma are not give a chance to Rroma. This segregation is encouraged at top level, for example by the Minister of Human Resources, Zoltan Balog.

Bulgaria: Indictment

Published by:

A Rrom, an official of the Euroroma political party was indicted and arrested together with 4 other people on suspicion of human trafficking and loan-sharking.

Can very well be true, but criminality is not an ethnic characteristic… It is a crime, nothing more.

A Novel on a Rromni

Published by:

A novel on a young Rromni by a French novelist Valérie Rodrigue is currently being presented to the press. It is a true story of a Rromni migrant and her integration in France.

Hungary: New Program for Rroma Women

Published by:

A new program was launched in Hungary aiming at retaining young Rroma women longer in schools. Funded with 150 Mio HUF (450’000 EUR).

This is totally hypocritical. Zoltan Balog, the minister in charge of Human Resources openly advocates segregated schools… What is being said and what is being done are two things, and they are different.

Tories against Rroma

Published by:

Cameron’s government policies classifying Rroma as travellers and thus stating they are no longer a minority if they cease to travel are totally misplaced and racist. As this article puts it “The government announces that black people must prove they are black by living in majority-black areas. If they move into a white neighbourhood, they will no longer be legally classed as black, and receive no support or protection”.

Totally inacceptable!

A book on Rroma Migrants: Gabriella, Rom de France

Published by:

A book by the French ethnologist Catherine Monnot about her conversations and interviews of Gabriela Cantia, a Romanian Rromni who emigrated to France and leaves close to Toulouse in a camp was just published.

Manifestation in the UK

Published by:

Travellers and Rroma manifested in front of the UK parliament to protest against the new planning policy that threatens their way of life and identity. Key point here is that the Gypsy and Traveller Status is no longer applicable for those who have ceased to travel. In brief and as in Switzerland, the way of life defines the minority.

Bad.

Italy: Northern League Politician in Rroma Camp

Published by:

Mateo Salvini, the leader of the rightist Northern League visited a Rroma camp near Rome. He was promptly insulted by the Rroma there on the basis of his general statements on Rroma.

He then posted the reactions on Facebook. In brief, he was provoking. BAD.
