Holocaust Remembrance: Croatia

Published by:

Let’s not forget that Croatia killed nearly ALL Croatian Roma during World War Two. This was not the Germans, but the Ustaša. If you want to meet the few Croatian Roma who survived, you have to go to Milan …

The Third Way

Published by:

An analysis of why the “Third Way” – or the policies that Virginia Raggi, Rome’s mayor – has put in place have failed. The third way was meant to close the camps who were run by the state and NGOs and subject to a mafia racket, and to integrate the Roma with the help of EU funds.
Now, this is more pure expulsions.

Breitbart again. This time, on the aggression in Western France of a woman by four men. The serious press reported the facts, said that 4 were arrested, one thanks to DNA (See the second article). What does Breitbart do? Reports that these are most probably Roma.
Could be, but is it relevant? They also got the age of the victim wrong … Probably they can’t really read.
