Belgium, for better or worse

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Do we have a trend? Less and less news about Roma. The most prominent one was that they also resisted against the Nazis.
Unfortunately, the other one is that the government is cutting the water to a Roma camp. And finally, article about caravans being dumped on private land near Paris.

Even in Death …

Published by:

A young Roma girl dies. The family asks the priest to celebrate a mass for the girl. He refuses – allegedly because the girl was baptised by a Uniat priest (the Ukrainian Orthodox church).
No empathy and probably a good dose of racism.
