This week’s news summary from France. Not so much, which is not surprising, as there were other news in the front pages.

In Lille, Rroma are told to leave France and to move to another place, to Vauban; in the North again, a difficult cohabitation between local travellers (i.e. Manouches) and Rroma; and a police action and a tumultuous municipal council in Loos, in the North of France.

Then two articles on schools one about the inclusion of migrants, the other about pollution near a school where Rroma are.

And finally, of course the usual crime stories with a reported increase of break in in the West and pickpockets in the South.

Lots of articles in Switzerland about ca. 350 Rroma from France travelling through Switzerland. And not all good. Rather bad press. All stereotypes are there.

After the protests regarding the “illegal” gas connection in a Rroma neighbourhood near Tula, the issue seems to have restarted. This time because the houses were scheduled to be demolished because of these illegal connections to the gas network.

In good Russian fashion, there was interior police, riot troops etc…

To be followed.

Italy: Integration instead of Persecution

The centre left candidate to the election of the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Giachetti, said he will aim to integrate the Rroma, should he be elected. This is good. Let’s close the camps and act against the mafia that was running them!
