Roma and Sinti organisations sharply criticise the statements of Duisburg’s mayor who launched a press frenzy on Roma cheating the welfare system.
It was racist.

Alarming articles in the German press regarding an increased amount of children’s allowances paid by Germany going into third countries. According to the press, some criminals bring Roma children in Germany, house them in a cheap flat so they have an address in Germany, apply for an allowance, and that one goes back to their country of origin.
Of course, one should add, this is a Roma thing ….

The type of articles you don’t need: In the Ukrainian press, a report of a fight between Roma in the Transcarpathian village of Podvinohradov after the “election of a Roma baron”… And then the report of a new “Gypsy camp” will be created in Kyiev, and finally also a report of a shooting at a Roma camp in Greece (we reported on this).
So, all good news about Roma and of course, they are dangerous.

The French news on Roma this week were dominated with the appeal of a catholic priest, Father Arthur Hervet to the French president Macron to ask for the closure of camps to stop and to respect the rights of the Roma and especially the children. The prefect of the North promptly denounced the “untruths” of Father Arthur’s statements on children even though it is well known that the State doesn’t respect its own laws.
In Western France, the Green party denounced the closure of camps; near Bordeaux, a camp was denied water in the midst of the heat wave; near Grenoble, a young Rom burnt himself badly while trying to set a car on fire; and near Paris, in Ivry, two camps were closed.
