EU, Italy, and Rroma

Published by:

Infringement proceedings against Italy were blocked at the highest level of the European Commission. This puts many Rroma in Italy at risk of eviction and continues to expose them to discrimination.

Italy: More than 1’000 Rroma Threatened with Expulsion

Published by:

More than 1’300 Rroma in Neaple are threatened with expulsions. Their camp will be closed shortly and the municipality will re-lodge only 200 of them.
Same story as in Rome… Who profits from these camps? Same corruption, same unwillingness to find a solution.

Published by:

The Capitoline council rejected 23 against 5 the popular initiative for the closure of the Rroma camps around the city. It seems that the Five Star Mayor of Rome and here associates have a peculiar view of “Integration”

Rome and the Rroma

Published by:

Finally, the integration plan of Rome’s mayor, Virginia Raggi has been unveiled. And there is quite a bit of critique against it. The Association “July 21st” has criticised the plan in a press conference, denouncing weaknesses and contradictions. The main issues are: The plan only covers a tiny minority of the Rroma in the city and the plan to put the Rroma in some separate settlement which would rapidly turn into a ghetto.

Rome – No More Camps – Not!!!

Published by:

In spite of promises from the municipality and its Five Stars Mayor, Rome is ready to open a new Rroma camp on its outskirts “as a temporary measure” …
On March 7th, the Welfare Department has approved a measure aimed at identifying a new “picnic area” (SIC!) intended to “welcome and provide a staying possibility for 120 Roma families “, with a “service management”. In practice it is a new settlement to replace the current “Camping River”, in which there are 420 people, for which management services will expire on June 30 of this year.
SHAME and LIES!

Italy and Deportation

Published by:

A judge stroke down the arrest of 4 Rromnja during a raid in Palermo on a Rroma camp. The women were separated from their husband and children and sent to Rome for deportation. Even though they had been in Italy for more than 20 years and two of them were born there…
Really??? Thanks to the judge in any case.

Rome and Rroma Camps

Published by:

More on the saga of the camps in Rome. Now the plan for the closure (and not the closure) will be ready by the end of the month… What is so complicated?
And by the way, the state gives out 23 Mio EUR for these camps per year, this for ca. 5’000 Rroma. Close to 5’000 EUR per head.
Someone is making money there.
