Slovakia and Children’s Day

Published by:

A bit of a controversy in the region of Košice following the celebration of an international Children’s day in a nearby town which excluded Roma children …
Excuses, justifications, but the fact remains … Roma children are apparently not quite like other children, at least in Slovakia.

Bad news this week… A Roma camp near Grenoble was burnt down. It was a criminal act. Several NGOs are accusing the state of non-assistance of people in danger. Near Paris, in Triel sur Seine, a camp was closed, and several Roam were arrested following a fight. In Thorigny sur Marne, the mayor is trying to resolve the case of a squat. In Saint Etienne, in the Centre of France, Roma are in court for having broken into a derelict building for lodging. In Nice, in the south, a weird story of two children abducted by their own family. In Saint Thibaut, an illegal dump was cleaned out. In the North, a project for the insertion of Roma is encountering opposition, and in Angers, a new house is used to lodge Roma from a camp that was closed recently.

Charlie Hebdo …

Published by:

Quite a bit of critique for Charlie Hebdo who published a cartoon of Simona Halep likening her to scrap metal collectors, a job which in France is assimilated to Roma.
By the way, the outrage is not about the racist portraying of Roma – it is about associating Simona Halep and thus Romanians to Roma… No further commentaries.

Ukraine, Russia, and Roma

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma who are camping in a railway station in Kiev. Both extremely critical of the Roma and definitively portraying them with all stereotypes, including using verbs like “polluting” etc… In brief, quite racist.
These same papers have been very critical of the Ukrainians for not doing anything on the attacks and here, do not dwell on the fact that these Roma are from Donetsk, and, like many others have been driven out of the region by the separatists.

All stereotypes are present here and of course it generalises … Fact is, there are many integrated Roma in the Ukraine. There are also many Roma refugees from the Dombass, they were driven out and have not been allowed to return. And in Western Ukraine, in the former parts of the Austro Hungarian Empire, the Roma situation is really bad.
