AfD and Roma

Published by:

Two more articles on the AfD proposal to count Roma in Sachsen, and that luckily they got slapped for it. But still, in Germany, with the Nazi precedent, the mere fact that they proposed it is bad.

Counting Roma

Published by:

Salvini’s proposal to count Roma boils down to fuelling hate… It is a populist move but is dangerous. Two articles on the subject (The Swiss one is a copy of the German one).

French Chronicle …

Published by:

The usual lot of news in France this week: A few Roma near Paris were re-lodged in social housing, while in another suburb, the authorities walled an abandoned house for fear it could be squatted. In the North, a camp has not been growing, meaning that the future insertion centre will not need to grow either. Also in the North, a camp was set on fire and its residents lodged a complaint with the police. In the Western part of the country, a camp in La Riche will be closed before the winter. Also in the Western part of the country, some Roma will be re-lodged. In Saint Etienne, in the centre, three Roma men who had broken into an abandoned house and were arrested were relaxed. In Grenoble, Roma who were the victims of a criminal fire are being relodged in a sport centre, while others were expulsed from a squat. In Marseilles, a squat will be closed, and people will not be re-lodged. In Montpellier, French Gitans are protesting against a fure camp for Roma.
