And the usual French review – more of the same. In Wissous, tensions are rising; in Metz, 23 Rroma are without lodgings; a fire in a camp in Ris Orangis, not surprising since temperatures are dropping and heating is needed; a Turkish tourist was mugged by three young Rroma in the RER in Paris; the site of a dismantled camp near Toulouse is being cleaned out; and more Rroma kids in schools in Dijon.

Rroma Go to Constitutional Court

The Hamburg based organisation Roma and Sinti Union (RCI) is making a formal complaint the Germany’s top constitutional court on the declaration of Balkan Countries as being “safe”. Let’s hope this puts a stop to the exulsions!

Rroma Camps in Wissous

A reunion is called by the Mayor of Wissous, a commune that already made the headlines (cutting the water to Rroma; fire in a camp, etc.) to discuss the existing Rroma camps in the commune. Well, what can be expected of such an action?

The endless cycle continues … An unlikely hero in Paris, the voice of the Ghetto Joszef Farkas from La Courneuve; neighbours concerned about Rroma moving in in the Rhone valley; Rroma from la Courneuve re-building their church; imminent expulsion in Saint Denis near Paris; the usual story about exploitation and criminal mendacity in Montpellier – as usual not really as stated; and finally an article on refugees at the Porte de Clichy in Paris.

France: Collective Discrimination

France: Collective Discrimination

According to a report from Romeurope, a collective engaged in defending Rroma, France is systematically discriminating and segregating Rroma. They denounce the practices of the expulsions and the overall policy of the French government.

Well Done!!!

The Dog …

The Dog …

The story of the dog is still doing the rounds. The police is now investigating (at last), and the press still reports on it. What is missed by all, are that the statements of the person who snatched the dog are deliberately generalising and racist … Not all Rroma drug their dogs or eat their cats. As least I don’t.

SHAME!!!

Rroma Refugees in Hamburg

Rroma Refugees in Hamburg

Rroma who are under threat of deportation to their former “home” country due to the “safe country” regulation are currently occupying a church in Hamburg. This is their last hope. And a shame for Germany, especially in the case of Rroma from Bosnia and from Kosovo, two countries that were ethnically cleansed with Europe watching and doing nothing.
