Hungary: Procedure against Segregation

The EU started a procedure against the segregation of schooling for Rroma in Hungary. This is good, but let’s not forget that the government openly suggests this segregation is for the good of the Rroma.

French Mayor under Fire

The Front National French Mayor of Cogolin in the South, Marc-Étienne Lansade, is back on the headlines. This time, not for his actions against Rroma – he was the one who posted on facebook boasting that he was cleaning Cogolin of Rroma, but because his financial skills are definitively not good, or even potentially criminal…

This week’s news summary from France. Not so much, which is not surprising, as there were other news in the front pages.

In Lille, Rroma are told to leave France and to move to another place, to Vauban; in the North again, a difficult cohabitation between local travellers (i.e. Manouches) and Rroma; and a police action and a tumultuous municipal council in Loos, in the North of France.

Then two articles on schools one about the inclusion of migrants, the other about pollution near a school where Rroma are.

And finally, of course the usual crime stories with a reported increase of break in in the West and pickpockets in the South.

Lots of articles in Switzerland about ca. 350 Rroma from France travelling through Switzerland. And not all good. Rather bad press. All stereotypes are there.

In good Russian fashion, there was interior police, riot troops etc…

Tories against Rroma

Tories against Rroma

Cameron’s government policies classifying Rroma as travellers and thus stating they are no longer a minority if they cease to travel are totally misplaced and racist. As this article puts it “The government announces that black people must prove they are black by living in majority-black areas. If they move into a white neighbourhood, they will no longer be legally classed as black, and receive no support or protection”.

Totally inacceptable!

Italy: Northern League Politician in Rroma Camp

Mateo Salvini, the leader of the rightist Northern League visited a Rroma camp near Rome. He was promptly insulted by the Rroma there on the basis of his general statements on Rroma.

He then posted the reactions on Facebook. In brief, he was provoking. BAD.

French Chronicle …

Surprisingly positive chronicle this week in the French press. Yes there were a few expulsions – mostly travelers, the odd criminal case, but the bulk of articles this week was more on integration and insertion.

First, two articles from Libération, one on the so-called insertion village near Lyon where Rroma are housed and helped to integrate and in the second case, about a young Rrom who now goes to school; then a meeting against “Rromophobia” in Orléans, in Western France and a conference on Rroma in Brittany which will take place in June; an article on the Rroma resistance day; and finally a view on discrimination presented by its young victims.

Then, the more standard things: Expulsions of travelers (note that now one starts speaking about Rroma in this context) in Western France, near Paris, and in Grenoble; and the arrest of two Rroma thieves near Paris.
