Rroma pickpockets in Paris

septembre 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

17 Rroma are on trial in Paris for having pick-pocketed tourists in the capital. Some of them are accused to have transferred back as much as 700’000 EUR. A lot of money.

Again, is it relevant that they are Rroma? If guilty, they are criminals. Ethnicity has nothing to do with this. At most, the fact that they had very little other opportunities in their home countries.

Das Boot ist voll – The ship’s full.

septembre 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Das Boot ist voll – the ship is full is an argument that has been used since a long time to avoid taking care of refugees, and, in the case of Germany, also to avoid having any Rroma around.

A chilling reading.

Bologna’s mayor: Again

septembre 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

Manes Bernardini from Bologna, again went overboard: He qualified the city of Bologna as a “Zingaropoli” – a “Gypsy Metrople”. He was slammed by the anti-discrimination council anf given a yellow card.

This is not the fist time that Bernardini uses populist anti-Rroma rhetoric. This has to STOP!

septembre 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

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.

We ask: Is it relevant? NO, ethnicity has nothing to do with this. This was started by the Swiss magazine le Temps and promptly re-taken by a few others.

Young Rroma are proud of their identity

septembre 14, 2015 Published by: Roma Foundation

During the second Rroma cultural festival in Dortmund, young Rroma took part in a round table aimed at reducing stereotypes. They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.

The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!
