Why are places where Roma live called settlements??? Isn’t this a form of racism or discrimination?
Food for thoughts.

The old slogan Money for Grandma instead for Sinti and Roma is making a comeback. How about an interdiction on racism grounds?

Still no progress – the UN refuses to acknowledge its guilt and much less pay any compensation to the Roma who were settled “as refugees” in a toxic dump that was a UN run “refugee” camp.

Things go up and down, very few news this week on Roma in France. This week, the news seem to be centred toward Paris. A camp partially evicted in Carrières sous Poissy; a notice of eviction on Créteil; a documentary of the new and latest camp on the track of the former “petite ceinture” railway around Paris; and finally a cleanup along the Marne river. On a side note, a camp in the south of France is the subject of a controverse. http://www.midilibre.fr/2017/09/06/camps-roms-la-ligne-de-philippe-saurel-afflige-plusieurs-associations,1556763.php

Well, a camp is set to be closed in Italy. But … No places have been set aside to re-lodge the people. And no consultation was done either. It hat is the policies of the five stars movement and the mayor of Rome, Ms. Raggi, this is akin to trying to do some ethnic cleansing.
Bad.
