France: Thousand Homeless

Published by:

An article by All-Jazeera about the evictions in France that saw 10’000 Rroma evicted in 2016. What we are missing here is that these 10’000 are part of the roughly 20’000 Rroma who live in camps in France, and that this proportion is evicted almost every year.
Instead of evicting, a solution should be found. It would be cheaper!

Slovakia, Ghettoes, and Opportunity

Published by:

Did you know that if you are born into a poor family in Denmark or in Estonia, you have a good opportunity to achieve success in life regardless of ethnicity? But in Slovakia, it is very likely that you will remain poor and so will your children. Especially so if you are born in an Osada – a Rroma settlement.
This must change!

More news this week in France. Worryingly, besides the usual expulsions, there are many news about criminal Rroma. This is really bad!
In Paris, the Rroma camping on the petite ceinture railway and in a disaffected tunnel will have to go; near the Marne river, a controversy about garbage left by Rroma, and an action to clean the banks of the Marne; the story of a Rromni, Parashkeva, whose caravan was destroyed during an evacuation in the North of France in Loos; a view from above of a camp in Hellemes, also in the North of France; and an article about what happened to people whose camp was evacuated recently.
Then, crime …
In the North, where 4 Rroma were stealing because of hunger; two Rroma arrested in Germany in a truck stolen in Western France full of tools; 9 burglaries for a couple in the South; pickpockets in Montpellier; and another article about petty theft in the South.
