French Chronicle …

French Chronicle …

This week’s chronicle is dominated by a few places. First and foremost, Cogolin, in the South where a Front National Mayor commented the destruction on a Rroma camp live on TV – watch it, in case you doubt what this party stands for. The statements he made (about the odour etc.) are actually plain racist.

Then, near Paris, in Annet sur Marne, a camp’s fate is in the hand of the judges; in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, the mayor blocks a street to get rid of Rroma; in Lille, Rroma may be forced to leave while in Roubaix, garbage strewn on the street creates anger.

Then an article about a strategy about Rroma … One wonders, So much noise and work for less than 20’000 Rroma – the problem could have been resolved a long while back.

Le Pen: No Shame!!!

Right after having been condemned for racism, Jean-Maire Le Pen finds nothing better than celebrate with the French magazine “Rivarol” amongst a full set of true extremists making really racist comments.

Unfortunately, this cannot be condemned…

Hungary: Strasbourg Condemnation

Published by:

A Hungarian Rroma woman who was insulted and threatened during an right wing manifestation had complained that these abuses were not investigated in Hungary. The European Court in Strasbourg stated that the police should have investigated these acts, especially in view of their extreme nature (and the events in Hungary).

The events occurred in the village of Gyöngyöspata in North Eastern Hungary.

GOOD!

In spite of some positive coverage due to the international Rroma day, this week’s French chronicle is not particularly nice. First, an intervention of the police in a Rroma camp near the prison of Loos in the North of France, an attempt to remove the Rroma from this camp; in the North, two families are expulsed; toilets are awaited in a camp near la Rochelle in the West of France; a new camping spot for travelers is installed near Paris in the bois de Vioncennes; near Paris, the arrival of Rroma is problematic; the Seine’s banks are being cleaned near a former Rroma camp; and news about a gang of thieves who stole tools near Dijon.

On a more positive note, a French Radio broadcasted for a day from a Rroma ghetto in Paris; and a positive action in the North of France!

Rroma women in Budapest are cooking against discrimination and stereotypes! A new restaurant in Budapest serves traditional Rroma food.

A good Idea, and a nice article for a change.

French Journalists Trying to Understand Rroma

A few French journalists from the Bourgogne region went to Romania to try to understand a bit more about Rroma… If only they would open up on the fact that Romanian Rroma are not necessarily representative of the entire community …

Not Acceptable !

Published by:

Not Acceptable !

An article in the Canadian Press is mixing some historical facts (Indian origin, since at least 900 years in the Balkan, etc.) with some gross mistakes – Rom comes from Romania. But then, there are totally racist statements. Judge by yourself:

  • No patriotism (gypsies have never been tied to any lands unless by force)
  • There is no spirit of solidarity (gypsies express such feelings of solidarity only in cases that serve their interests of the moment)
  • There is no punctuality and a sense of order (gypsies are Bohemian, indifferent to history, they are perennial pilgrims)
  • There is no respect for the law (in gypsy society the law is made by the “stabor” and the “bulibasha,” similar to Muslim tribes and their Sharia Law)
  • Gypsies build a state within a state, supported by the force of the occult.

Please protest!

French Chronicle …

Published by:

This week, French news are not dominated by the closure of camps or petty criminality … Main news are the fight against discrimination and racism. This is much better!

News on an exhibition in Roubaix, in the North on racism; “living books” aka story tellers in Lille; 200 people manifesting against the expulsions in Lille; and a portrait of an activist in Marseilles.

Expulsions are also in the press: Near Paris where 600 people were expulsed; and in the North where a camp awaits the verdict of the courts on its eviction.

Then, there is crime … With the collaboration of the French and Romanian police (bad, as the latter are really racist); and with arrests for theft among Rroma.
