French Chronicle …

Published by:

Not many news this week in France about Roma. First, an article that shows integration works. Roma who were part of a program around Paris found a job. The French defender of Human Rights, Jacque Toubon, lauded the successes of an insertion village near Paris. Other than that, in Triel sur Seine, residents are fighting for the closure of a Roma camp; a fire in a Roma camp is reported in the North of France; and Roma, while more likely to get measles are also more likely to vaccinate against it, given the opportunity.
Finally, two cases of criminality: Romanian thieves attacking women and card thefts in Western France.

Movies and Roma …

Published by:

A conference on the theme of Antitziganism and Movies started in Berlin on Wednesday, February 21st. The conference was convened on the back of the controversy of the German television movie “Nelly’s Adventures” which depicted Roma in a negative and stereotypical way. These stereotypes are all too often present in movies as soon as Roma are present. This needs to stop.

More on Frankfurt

Published by:

The story of the stamp and the note on the passport of a Romni from Romania continues to feed the news. It made it to the Romanian news, where they noted that the German administration effectively defaced property of the Romanian State (yes, the passport). It continues to get coverage in Germany, as it is all too reminiscent of practices of the Nazis.

Very little news this week in France. In the South, neighbours of a future “insertion village” for Roma in Montpellier are protesting; in the North, in Hautbourdin, a camp burnt down, and someone took the opportunity to steal the belongings of the Roma; and near Paris, in Triel sur Seine, residents are asking for a camp to be closed.
Finally, news on criminality with the trial of the young Roma pickpockets from Paris’ Disneyland and with the arrest in Perpignan of 17 Roma accused of having organised dozens of pickpockets in Montpellier.

Germany and Roma

Published by:

Romani Rose, the President of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma considers anti-Gypsism as a widespread social problem. According to him, Sinti and Roma still have to fight against exclusion. He also opposed the recognition of several Balkan countries as “safe” for Roma.

Germany – More Racism

Published by:

The crypt of a Sinti family was defaced in a racially motivated attack in Germany. In addition, SS runes were drawn in the snow on their car, leaving little doubt that this is motivated by hate.

Rome, Roma, and Mafia

Published by:

Several Roma families are connected to the Casamonica Mafia clan which controls a large part of Rome’s criminal activities. The Carabinieri, have carried out the seizure of 430 assets worth over 4 million euros (including a three-storey building, a prestigious villa and various land on the outskirts of Rome) belonging to the Roma family Di Silvio.
Not good for all of us.

Eleven Thousand

The French expulsed more than 11’000 people last year. This number is rising. And, what is more and not said here, these are always the same people, year on year.
How about finding a solution for the roughly 20’000 Roma who live in those camps?

French Chronicle …

Published by:

The biggest news this week was that the expulsion of a Roma camp in Lille, in the North of France in November 2017 was illegal… The town and the State were condemned for having proceeded with the expulsion without a court order during the winter moratorium. Nevertheless, the people who were expulsed are still not lodged properly.
Near Paris, the snow in the capital renders life miserable in some of the camps. In Triel, near Paris, more than 700 people signed a petition to ask for the closure of a camp. In Western France, near Angers, people who were expulsed are suffering from the cold. In another town, residents are petitioning the mayor for the closure of a camp. In Perpignan, an association is trying to help the Roma whose camp was recently destroyed by a fire. In Montpellier, the local Gitans are opposed to the creation of a Roma insertion camp near their homes. In Nice, 36 people were expulsed. And finally, in the Grenoble region, in Fontaine, a call of an action plan rather than the usual policy of expulsions.

Slovenian Slums

Published by:

On the occasion of the visit in Novo Mesto of Borut Pahor, the Slovenian President, Bogdan Miklič, President of the Roma Union of Dolenjska, showed the President the life of the Roma in the largest Roma settlement Žabjak, and pointed out that many of the Roma have been living without electricity or water for more than seventy years in extremely bad conditions. He was also critical of the municipality, which does too little for the Roma settlements and warned of their uncontrolled spread. He went somewhat overboard though in comparing the situation of the slums with that of Darfur … This is a comparison better not done.
