European Commission: Report on Rroma Integration

Published by:

The European Commission report on Rroma integration calls for renewed efforts towards this goal. The First Vice-President of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, is quoted saying: “Roma are part of our societies, and they are part of Europe. This report comes as a timely reminder for Member States to show more political determination and implement their commitments to integrate Europe’s Roma communities. Member States should use to the full the relevant policy, legal and financial tools to ensure equal opportunities and Roma inclusion.”

French Chronicle …

Published by:

When Football is king, there are certainly less news about Rroma. Very few news this week in France. In Loos, in the North, the camp was finally dismantled, and burnt down, only two families found a new lodging; in Annet sur Marne, near Paris, the Rroma left leaving lots of garbage; in Cuges, in the South, the mayor calls for blocking travellers from camping there; and in the Alps, travellers finally left La Vue des Alpes.

On a more positive touch, Médecisn sans Frontières is deeply engaged in the North helping Rroma; and in Sètes, in the South, a story on inclusion in School.

Italy: Integration instead of Persecution

Published by:

The centre left candidate to the election of the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Giachetti, said he will aim to integrate the Rroma, should he be elected. This is good. Let’s close the camps and act against the mafia that was running them!

A Novel on a Rromni

Published by:

A novel on a young Rromni by a French novelist Valérie Rodrigue is currently being presented to the press. It is a true story of a Rromni migrant and her integration in France.

Hungary: New Program for Rroma Women

Published by:

A new program was launched in Hungary aiming at retaining young Rroma women longer in schools. Funded with 150 Mio HUF (450’000 EUR).

This is totally hypocritical. Zoltan Balog, the minister in charge of Human Resources openly advocates segregated schools… What is being said and what is being done are two things, and they are different.

A book on Rroma Migrants: Gabriella, Rom de France

Published by:

Bulgaria: Monitoring Integration

Published by:

The Bulgarian government approved a report monitoring the progress of Rroma integration in 2015… Would be curious to see it, as the situation has declined severely for Rroma in that country.
