Switzerland and Travellers

Published by:

Yet another article on Roma travellers in Switzerland with all stereotypes and clichés.
Needless to say, this is not really positive.

Kyiv: More Roma

Published by:

It seems that when it comes to Roma, both Russians and Ukrainians revert to stereotypes. This time, Ukrainian press on Roma squatting a railway station in the capital. They do not even bother to mention that these are apparently refugees from the Dombas.

Ukraine, Russia, and Roma

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma who are camping in a railway station in Kiev. Both extremely critical of the Roma and definitively portraying them with all stereotypes, including using verbs like “polluting” etc… In brief, quite racist.
These same papers have been very critical of the Ukrainians for not doing anything on the attacks and here, do not dwell on the fact that these Roma are from Donetsk, and, like many others have been driven out of the region by the separatists.

Leni Riefestahl

Published by:

A forthcoming exhibition on Leni Riefenstahl’s work is seen by many as a form of an absolution. Among her work, she did a movie using Roma concentration camp inmates. She later claimed she knew nothing about the death camps.

Ukraine, Roma, and Work

Published by:

Two Russian language articles on Roma in the Ukraine. Basic statement therein: Roma have difficulties in finding jobs, and thus they have many children and live of the money they receive for them from the social service.
All stereotypes are present here and of course it generalises … Fact is, there are many integrated Roma in the Ukraine. There are also many Roma refugees from the Dombass, they were driven out and have not been allowed to return. And in Western Ukraine, in the former parts of the Austro Hungarian Empire, the Roma situation is really bad.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

Lots of cultural events this week in France on Roma – and very little negative news. First, a projection of a movie on a Roma camp in Nantes. The movie is presented on the site of that former site, before it is developed. Projection of another movie on Roma in Arles. The exhibition “Mondes Tsiganes” in Paris, with many photographs. That exhibition is not in the right place (in the museum of migration) and is definitively fuelling clichés. Concert of a Slovakian Roma group in the South of France. Then the more usual news: A fire in a camp in Montreuil; a new squat of a empty house near Paris; and, surprise, a positive experiment in Marseilles, where Roma are lodged in apartments …
