Not many news this week on Roma in France. Doesn’t really mean the expulsion policies are stopped, far from that. In the Lille region, in the North, several camps were closed. The press is now asking and what next? Maybe, they should have asked that before. Still in Lille, there seems to be progress on the integration of Roma, but the paper claims it is “complicated”. Activists are going to court against the expulsions of Roma EU citizen following the camp closures. Near Paris, the commune has finally relented and accepted to provide water to a Roma camp. Finally, In Nantes, Roma are going to court because of an expulsion that did not provide alternate lodgings.

Germany and Children’s Allowances

Published by:

Alarming articles in the German press regarding an increased amount of children’s allowances paid by Germany going into third countries. According to the press, some criminals bring Roma children in Germany, house them in a cheap flat so they have an address in Germany, apply for an allowance, and that one goes back to their country of origin.
Of course, one should add, this is a Roma thing ….

French Chronicle …

Published by:

The French news on Roma this week were dominated with the appeal of a catholic priest, Father Arthur Hervet to the French president Macron to ask for the closure of camps to stop and to respect the rights of the Roma and especially the children. The prefect of the North promptly denounced the “untruths” of Father Arthur’s statements on children even though it is well known that the State doesn’t respect its own laws.
In Western France, the Green party denounced the closure of camps; near Bordeaux, a camp was denied water in the midst of the heat wave; near Grenoble, a young Rom burnt himself badly while trying to set a car on fire; and near Paris, in Ivry, two camps were closed.
