A never ending story since 20 years. A Pig farm on the site of the Lety concentration camp where many Rroma were deported from to Auschwitz and other death camps.

Crime Boss in Denmark

A crime boss who happens to be also a Rrom from Croatia can stay in Denmark. He is a criminal and claims to be the boss of Rroma in that country.

Well, as one says in the Balkans, he was under the bridge. And he is a criminal and should be treated as such. Ethnicity has lost nothing here.

French Chronicle

After a pause due to Easter (not in France – on the redaction side), a further French chronicle. Actually very quiet, as this is the season where expulsions are the norm.

In Annet sur Marne, judges ordered the expulsion of the Rroma camp; in Roubaix, the decision of the judges is still reported, and the future of that particular camp is still in the cards; in Lens, a collective supporting Rroma is asking for financial support; a manifestation for supporting Rroma attracted less than 50 people, BAD; a young Rrom was electrocuted while playing in a squat; in Saint Denis, north of Paris, residents protested against illegal vendors and Rroma by organizing a market on the street; and finally, a positive note in the North of France on social lodgins and so-called insertions villages.

In Geneva, two Rroma were condemned to prison for having exploited a mentally handicapped kid, most probably Rrom, whose parents rented him out to the couple in Geneva.

Bad that it happened, WORSE, it strengthen stereotypes that Rroma are trafficking humans, involved in begging clans etc. This is purely a case of few destitute individuals …

Poland – Gdansk: Pogroms

Published by:

Football hooligans in Gdansk attacked a Rroma compound close to the football stadium in Gdansk. The police, in spite of warnings did not intervene at all. That football hooligans are often closet Nazis is an unfortunate fact, but that the police doesn’t do a thing, is not acceptable.
