Le Progrès and Racism

The French Newspaper le “Progrès” has been cleared for its article on criminality where they explicitely cited Rroma besides Georgians, Albanians and Travellers (by the way, showing they have no clue about what they are talking about).

Besides the regional elections where Rroma are increasingly being used for electoral purposes, especially in the north of France, one hears about: a camp on a construction site in Marseilles; a positive example in Gardanne where Rroma were helped to integrate; an new “insertion village” is planned near Lyon; 50 Rroma families escape an upcoming eviction in St. Denis, near Paris; the story of the wall at the French Belgian border seems to peter out; some dumb commentaries of Rroma in the context of circulation problems; and finally, some dubious National Front propositions in the North of France.
