Published by:

An Italian train conductor in a train in Northern Italy gave an announcement asking “Gypsies to get off at the next station” …
This is what you get when you open the Pandora box. Thank you Mr. Salvini.

We Don’t Need This …

Published by:

The type of articles you don’t need: In the Ukrainian press, a report of a fight between Roma in the Transcarpathian village of Podvinohradov after the “election of a Roma baron”… And then the report of a new “Gypsy camp” will be created in Kyiev, and finally also a report of a shooting at a Roma camp in Greece (we reported on this).
So, all good news about Roma and of course, they are dangerous.

Ukraine & C14

Published by:

The coordinator of the ultra-nationalist group and suspected organiser of the pogroms against Roma, Serguei Mazur is now only required to stay at home at night. In September, he will be able to apply for the end of the restrictive measures against him.
Seems that Ukraine is fairly lenient towards racism …

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.
