Poland: Eviction

Published by:

In Maszkowice, South Eastern Poland, a group of 11 Roma houses are being threatened with destruction for having been built illegally. One Rom is threatening to hang himself should this come true.
This technique (illegally built buildings) is increasingly used by several countries to evict Roma. And one needs to note that most of the houses in the countryside in Eastern Europe are illegally built in the first place.

Do we need this?

Published by:

Yet another “King” – or maybe not. And a conflict between Roma organisations. We definitively do not need that.

A recapitulation of the facts that led to a collective punishment of Roma in Plovdiv and later to a manifestation.
Scary.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Not many news in France on Roma this week. An article in Libération is somewhat disturbing. While it is called “No one has Roma friends, I asked myself why”, it nevertheless perpetuates clichés which is what the French press is doing all the time. Other than that, the usual news. In Western France, Roma children need to go to school; the site of a former camp was cleaned up in Nantes; near Paris, a squat was damaged by fire; and in the North, several housing projects, also targeted at Roma will be funded.
