Czech Holocaust Rroma survivors and relative of the victims disagree with the anti-refugee sentiment that is prevalent in that country.
Read the speech!
An article on Rroma. Good – especially saying that the visible ones are just the tip of the iceberg. Most Rroma are not like the stereotypes!
A new camping space for travelers in Switzerland raises the age old same questions: Locals vs. Foreign, especially Rroma (in the local Swiss Mythology, they are all foreign).
CRAP. There is NO REASON FOR SEGGREGATION!
A view on the segregated Rroma communities in North Eastern Hungary.
Fact is, it is worse …
In Geneva, two Rroma were condemned to prison for having exploited a mentally handicapped kid, most probably Rrom, whose parents rented him out to the couple in Geneva.
Bad that it happened, WORSE, it strengthen stereotypes that Rroma are trafficking humans, involved in begging clans etc. This is purely a case of few destitute individuals …
An example of what can be done, even in Slovakia.
More on the clashes between the police and anti-Rroma protesters following an alleged attack by Rroma on non-Rroma in that city.
Dangerous and SHAME!
A comic strip on the fate of Rroma and the discrimination they constantly face. Unfortunately, the comic strip also conveys many of the stereotypes on Rroma.
Three policemen were injured in Bulgaria when they intervened to disperse an anti Rroma riot that was sparked by an incident two days ago where four Rroma men were charged with attempted murder on three non Rroma Bulgarians.
Bad …
Ten Rromnja from camps surrounding Rome are cooking against prejudice in that city!
For those of you who did not yet know … The Macedonian Rroma singer went to court and did indeed win against Borat for the misuse of one of her greatest hit Čaje šukarije… She is on tour in Oakland. Go and see here .
The case of the police harassment of Rroma boys in Kosice is returning to court. Basically, all police officers are whitewashed. This is true racism.
Another article on Slovakia and on the fact that the EU is not doing enough – or rather one should say, anything. Like it is not doing anything in Hungary …
Another of these articles that feed on stereotypes. Kings, barons, mansions (well…), all stereotypes are here. Is it reality or is it something else? Besides the taste to be discussed, the view here is that all these Rroma did their money illegally on the back of the UK (or European, or else) taxpayer. Wrong… They worked!
A summary of the aggression against the young Rrom in Bulgaria who stated “you are my equal” to an obviously racist and brutal Bulgarian.
A polemic started in France because of a planned moive by a French humourist – Christian Clavier – called “Sivouplééé” – a play on the French “please” as pronounced by Romanian Rroma beggars. This movie shows a leftist intellectual who has to open his home to a family of Rroma. And of course, all stereotypes are present.
Toni Gatlif, the French Rroma movie maker simply finds this disgusting, and we share his point of view.
SHAME !!!
Swiss Jenische, interviewed on Swiss TV. Bad. Rroma – called here “transit travelers” – are dirty, leaving camping spots dirty, etc.
The Jenische are right to demand spots to camp in each of the Swiss cantons. It is bad that this hasn’t happened yet.
And the spring comes, and camps are dismantled or at least threatened … The French constant. In Ris Orangis, near Paris, a camp was dismantled; in Annet sur Marne, the tribunal will decide on May 6th about the camp, a camp which has neighbours up in arms; in Lyon, a new camp in the city; in the North, Rroma are being displaced to a new location in Vauban amidst opposition; and near Paris, a commune searches for a solution for sedentarised travellers.
Meanwhile, former residents of a camp in Paris are looking for a new address; and mayors in several cities in France are really increasing their racist rhetoric. Finally, a Bulgarian death in a camp lands in front of the justice – with the usual background of “human trafficking”.
A bomb was thrown at a Rroma children day care centre during the night in Zagreb. The daycare centre is located in the same building as the Rroma association of Croatia. This brings bad memories ….
The Slovak authorities have taken almost no measures aimed at reducing the segregation of Rroma in the Slovak School system. This is a SHAME!
