French Chronicle …

Published by:

A young 24 years old pregnant Romni was arrested and jailed in Nice for having maltreated her other two children. Roma associations are vehemently protesting – saying she was jailed for being poor.
On the more positive side, Jeanine Bouvier is working hard to get Roma children into schools in Marseilles.
Near Paris, Roma who were evacuated from a camp that was closed are now lodged into a sports centre… And the Roma in Melun living in the former hospital can stay as a judge prevented their evacuation. Finally, in the North of France, Roma in Lille can stay for a bit longer.
