French Chronicle …

Published by:

Not many news, between the Euro Football and Brexit, Rroma are in the background. Makes you wonder if they are just used to fill voids in the papers…

Tensions in Alsace, due to evangelical Rroma; neighbours complaints due to illegal camps near Paris; Rroma left a camp near Roubaix in the North; restructuration of a neighbourhood in the North, with an integration village fro Rroma; and in the South a warning of credit card thieves.

Italy: More Scandals on Rroma Camps

Published by:

Several people have been put under investigation in Italy for the management of Rroma camps, especially near the capital. There were always vested interest in maintaining these camps, it is now obvious…

Germany: Rroma Travellers Unwelcome

Published by:

One of the few camping places for travelling Rroma and Sinti in Germany will be closed. The Roma and Cinti Union, who has been running this camp, has been informed they will have to leave it until October.

Switzerland: Segregation and Opposition

Published by:

A Swiss commune is up in arms to protest against a newly planned “transit” camp for foreign travellers, aka Rroma in Switzerland. There are few places for Rroma travellers in Switzerland, as other camping spots are increasingly forbidden to Rroma. Effective segregation, even though these camps are often under utilised.

BAD!

Before Migrants and Moslems: Rroma

Published by:

An article about the far right movements, especially in Slovakia and Hungary, who, before they demonised Moslems and Migrants in general, were extensively anti-Rroma, and also anti-Jewish.

Criminal Networks: Netherlands

Published by:

Police in the Netherland has apparently uncovered 4 networks trafficking Rroma children for theft and begging. Apparently, the children are meant to steel 1’000 EUR per day. Some of these children had been placed under supervision in Holland and were found in Spain. The story seems true, unfortunately. To be followed.

Rome and Rroma

Published by:

Small scandal in Rome again in the administration of the Rroma camps around the capital. The police arrested several people for corruption, kickbacks and bribes regarding these camps. And this time not the Rroma.

It shows how much vested interests exists NOT to solve the problem…

Rome and Rroma

Published by:

The new mayor of Rroma, Virginia Raggi, wants to close the Rroma camps around the capital. Nice thoughts, but is the will there? These camps were run by politics, NGOs, and the police, to some profit, apparently …

Let’s watch.

 

Rroma in Romania: Pictures

Published by:

A set of nice photos of traditional Rroma in a village in Romania. From the look of it, Kalderaša.

Nice work, but this is exactly what perpetuates the stereotypes when not presented in context. This is a minority in a specific country where the villages are still mostly closer to the 19th than to the 21st centuries.

 

Ireland: Children removed from Family

Published by:

Children were removed by court order from a Rroma family in Ireland. The children had lice, ringworm, little to eat. All the signs of poverty. Not much that is Rroma specific. Yet, this is what comes out of the article.
Bad journalism, and bad for the children.
