More on the Rroma Invasion of California

Published by:

Seems that several Newspapers are catching on the migration of Rroma in California. From the articles, one could believe it is a real trend.
Well, they have probably more Rroma immigrants they don’t recognise as such (they don’t fit the stereotypes) than the ones which prompted these articles. If they only knew that there have been Rroma steelworkers and then automobile factory workers in the US since ages, among many other Rroma!

Hungary Urged to End “Benevolent Segregation”

Published by:

What can be “benevolent” about segregation? This is simply segregation, and is practised enthusiastically in Hungary in villages, in schools, and wherever possible.
End these practices.

Switzerland: Rroma feel Ignored by Berset

Published by:

Following the recognition of Jenische and Sinti by Alain Berset, Swiss Interior Minister, Rroma rightly feel excluded. Event though they number far more than Jenische and Sinti in Switzerland…
But then, in that country, Rroma is used as an almost synonym for foreigner.

French Chronicle …

Apart from the news from Marseilles (see other post on France), news are like always in France: A camp evacuated in Brunoy, near Paris; Montreuil, where the people who were forced out of the camp still haven’t been re-lodged; in Marseilles, where, besides the headlines of the attack, Rroma were also expelled from a camp just before school begin; in Montpellier, where a fire was started in a camp – again; and in the north, in Roubaix, where people take the opportunity of a Rroma camp to dump toxic waste; in Maubeuge, the story of a part of town being reconstructed (after the eviction of Rroma); and finally in Lille, were volunteers do activities with Rroma children.

French Chronicle: Marseilles

A camp with nearly 160 Rroma in Marseilles was attacked with Molotov Cocktails and pump guns. 7 people landed in hospital, three persons were arrested. There seems to have been an altercation between the Rroma and some local youths, although at this stage nothing is clear.

Gold and the Vatican

Published by:

Gold and the Vatican

An article about the Gold that was taken away from Rroma during the Holocaust in World War Two, which according to the president of the World Roma Organisation, Jovan Damjanovic, landed in Swiss banks and in the Vatican.

That 3.5 Mio Rroma died in the Holocaust is probably a very high number, experts think it is probably closer to 1.5 Million, with roughly 275’000 registered deaths (most people were not registered, even in camps, when they were immediately gassed).

That Gold transited through Switzerland, and thus also Rroma Gold, is a certainty. That some of it landed in the Vatican will be difficult to prove.

Switzerland: Travellers in Bern

Published by:

Switzerland: Travellers in Bern

Again bad press on travellers in Switzerland. Usual story: Forced to camp somewhere in the wild or on a rented field, there are not enough sanitary installations nor containers for garbage, and as a result, people complain about garbage and smell.

This is how you force a reputation on people.
