No news this week on Roma in France. A fire in a camp in the South that may have had criminal origins is the only thing that happened.
The Czech Republic will strengthen passport control for refugees and provide assistance only to those fleeing the war and crossing the Ukrainian border.
Basically the statement is: Due to Roma, conditions are harder. The entire issue stems from the Hungarian Prime Minister Orban who gave Hungarian passports to many people in Transcarpathian Ukraine. Now, there are Roma with dual Ukrainian and Hungarian citizenship who obviously do not want to stay in Hungary…
Ukrainian Roma refugees are sleeping in Prague’s main railway station.
A reportage from the Belgian RTBF on the Šutka in Skopje. Unfortunately with the usual stereotypes of French speakers, namely that Roma are nomads …
The Czech Republic will tighten its rules on refugees due to the influx of Roma from the Ukraine with dua Hungarian and Ukrainian nationality.
Roma are not a minority, they are Europeans.
Sinti asking to meet the mayor to understand what will happen with their settlement. Unfortunately a common pattern…
A memorial to deported Sinti and Roma in a small German town.
An article highlighting the plight of Ukrainian Roma refugees from Transcarpathia in the Czech Republic. The ones with a Hungarian passports have gone, but the ones that are still there lodge in tents in difficult circumstances.
A portrait on one of the major writer about the Polska Roma and the one who promoted the career of Papuša, the Romni poet. His books are still the bible on Roma in Poland.
Pictures of the commemoration on the site of the former concentration camp of Lety.
The president of the Czech senate attended the commemorations in Lety and stated that this is a message for tolerance towards minorities.
The treatment of Ukrainian Roma Refugees in the Czech Republic says a lot about the prevalent racism against Roma in the country.
An article on Roma employment or rather lack thereof in Slovenia. And all usual stereotypes are there, low education, they do not see the point to work and so on.
Only one thing is not mentioned: No Slovene will employ Roma …
The Roma community congratulated the recently nominated prime minister Abazović and asked him to help Roma and also to employ Roma in his prime minster office.
Not much news in France this week. A camp near Paris was dismantled; a educational book presented in Marseilles; some issues near Montpellier’s new transition camp; and a Rom condemned for aggressions in Meaux.
Well, if you are not white, you are not so welcome in Poland …
A few Romane lava in English …
The German government has adopted the concept of a Documentation Centre for Dealing with the German Occupation Regime in Europe. The monumental project is the result of many years of work and discussions about what such a place should be like.
