Roma in Europe

Published by:

A reportage on Ukrainian media in Slovakia – in Košice in the Lunik IX neighbourhood – and a reflection of Roma in Europe. What is positive is that they say that the integration of Roma is more of a problem of the majority than of the Roma. What is less so is that they say idiocies (that Roma lived in tent prior to the creation of the “vertical” ghettoes) and that they push a whole series of stereotypes.

Russia for Russians

Published by:

The head of the Federal National-Cultural Autonomy of Russian Gypsies told the press that the authorities pay little attention to the Roma, and that the media only write about them in a negative light. In Russia, the number of those who approve the slogan “Russia for Russians” has increased according to the Levada Center poll, which states that the share of citizens supporting such a statement has grown from 10 to 19%. As the “360” TV channel notes, the number of those who favour restriction of the rights of Roma to live in Russia has increased especially from 17 to 32%.

Slovakia and Work

Published by:

Minister of Labour Ján Richter has repeatedly said that there are many Roma in Slovakia who want to work, only companies have many prejudices against them.
The most recent analysis of the Institute of Financial Policy at the Ministry of Finance shows that most of the work Roma do does not really benefit the state ad that the measures to help Roma find work are inadequate.

Kyiv …

Published by:

What we don’t need – a report of “bands” of “Gypsy thieves” “robbing” people in the Kyiv railway station. And, while it is unfortunately probably true that there are Roma who steal there, the blanket statements in an already hot and tense situation do not help.

Russian Nationalism

Published by:

Not surprisingly, Russians are getting increasingly nationalists and think that Russia is for Russians. The first victims thereof are clearly Roma …

Then, a camp closure in Lille; an aggression of firemen as they came to the rescue of a person in a Roma camp in Montpellier (Bad); in Lyon, an expulsion ith the expulsed people squatting in a square; and finally in Lyon, the insertion village closure, after a really successful period seing all the Roma having found a job an housing.
