Poland: The end of Travels

Published by:

A book about the interdiction of travels for Roma in Poland. On May 24, 1952, the Polish government’s presidium adopted a resolution “On assistance for the Gypsy population in transitioning to a settled lifestyle”. This had more to do with the fact that Roma were not conforming to the socialist norm rather than anything else.

The book and article are wrong in that they say that “Most of the Gypsy tribes living in Poland had wandering in their tradition and eternal way of life”. First, these are not tribes, and second, most of these Roma had houses, especially among Xaladytka Roma, and were travelling during the summer to sell horses.

More on the Slovak Relocation

The relocation of the Roma community for the construction of the ecoduct (a wildlife overpass)  in Svrčinovec has raised a wave of resentment in both Čadec and Lopušné Pažite. Some of the Roma are planned to be relocated to a property in Čadec by the end of the month, a part to a house in the village of Lopušné Pažite, and a part will stay in Svrčinovec.

It shows how Roma are viewed in Slovakia…

Whoopi Goldberg

Published by:

A plethora of articles in the press about Whoopi Goldberg use of the term “gypped” on live TV. She was referring to Donald Trump’s follower who, according to Whoopi are “people who still believe that he got, you know, gypped somehow in the election.”

She apologised.
