Sweden: Malmö Camp Cleared

novembre 8, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Sweden seems to be following the footsteps of France and clearing Rroma migrant camps. That such a socially inclined country tolerated ghettoes for so long is already quite amazing. But a solution, it doesn’t provide. This is WINDOW DRESSING. And thanks God, some people are protesting.

The Pope and Stereotypes …

novembre 8, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

In his speech to Rroma representatives, Pope Francis told Rroma not to fall into crime so as to break free of prejudice. Translated, this de facto means that the pope thinks that (a) many Rroma are criminals and (b) this is the root cause of their discrimination.

Wrong in both cases …
