The Hungarian super minister (and protestant minister) is still advocating segregated schools for Roma. Not the first time, and probably not the last time either, unfortunately.

The Swiss don’t like foreign travellers and does everything to dissuade them from coming. Latest trend: They can only stay for 7 days on a site, and need to request a work permit if they want to work, permit issued after 7 days …

A Bulgarian, Petar Nizamov, is hunting refugees and Roma at the Bulgarian Turkish border. He is the president of a group called “Civic Group for the Defence of Borders, Woman, and Faith”, and has regularly been accused of violence against Roma. He is also claiming not to have any reveues but flouts expensive cars and lifestyle…
Bad.

Very few news this week on France and Roma. In the North of France, neighbours of a Roma camp are fed up with the situation and are asking for the closure of the camp; also in the North, one squat has been closed down; while near Paris, a camp will be shut down shortly; and finally near Nantes in Western France, an association is looking for caravans to relocate Roma (who probably never lived in caravans in the first place).

A conservative Fox News journalist – Tucker Carlson – went totally overboard on his show on the topic of the 40 Romanian Roma immigrants in Pennsylvania. He used comments of the type “”Gypsies” are settled in a small Pennsylvania town… and locals complain of them going to toilet in the street and beheading chickens” and worse ones. In brief, the went into a racist rant.
