An exhibition on Koudelka’s work, including quite a few stunning pictures on Rroma.
Read this … Orban effectively says Hungary cannot take refugees as they have several hundred thousand Gypsies… And that he doesn’t ask anyone to live with such numbers.
Well for one, there are 800’000 according to the cogernment, and they beat the Hungarians to Europe.
SHAME!
– Asylum seekers get a result but it’s not over yet. In: Budapest Times. 12.09.2015. http://budapesttimes.hu/2015/09/12/asylum-seekers-get-a-result-but-its-not-over-yet/
France was put at the same level as Bulgaria by a UN report slamming those two countries for forced evictions of Rroma.
SHAME!!!
Bulgaria and Sweden are talking about migrants and poverty and Sweden is hoping to improve the living conditions of Rroma there.
Let’s see… Sweden’s agreement with Romania did not do much.
Residents of the Rroma Mahala (neighbourhood) of Garmen took to the street to protest the continuing destruction of so-called “illegal” houses there.
LET THESE DESTRUCTIONS STOPPED!
The Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister went overboard and demonstrated that he must have been “under the bridge” as on say in the Balkans. 15% of beggars in Sweden are of Bulgarian origins. This is real statistic. If there are 200 beggars there, this is probably a lot.
NO NEWS!!!!
A first: A Rromni was elected in Moldova to a local council.
Well Done!
The demolition of Rroma houses in Garmen is continuing.
SHAME!

The movie on Romanian Rroma slavery, Aferim, on which we have already repeatedly reported is a potential oscar contender.
Nice!
Several newspapers reported that one of the suspects in the death of more than 70 migrants who died in a truck in Austria is a Rrom from Bulgaria.

The Slovak PM, Robert Fico literally said Slovakia cannot integrate refugees because they can’t integrate their own Rroma.
UNACCEPTABLE!
An opinion piece on the walls that are being erected in various places like Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia, sometimes to prevent people from going in, but also, as in Slovakia, to segregate Rroma.
SCARY
Amnesty International launched a petition to the Czech government protesting the enrollment of Rroma children in schools for children with disabilities. This practice is still continuing in spite of multiple protests.
THIS HAS TO STOP!
Police was attacked when they went into a camp near Kosiče, in Slovakia where they were called by paramedics following a fight within the camp. This is not the first time, and follows a pattern. The Slovak police is known for its heavy handed practices as well as for its bias against Rroma.
An article highlighting the need for a fundamental change and reform of the EU in order the further the Rroma integration.
A documentary on a Rroma rapper in the Czech republic has proven to be a publicum hit!
