The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpensioner was worried about the family, consisting of the parents, two sons and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta pregnant daughter in law. After about a month, in December, the family told \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe pensioner that they wanted to go back to Romania and broke off all contacts. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA month later, the woman discovered the family begging in the city centre, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tagain in poor clothes. She feels betrayed. A friend of her had also given money \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto the family, money that had been used to repay debt to a usurer in Romania \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand for paying the smugglers for the travel between Romania and Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The article is written in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta very one-sided manner and presents an unbalanced view on Rroma, representing \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthem as sneaky and unreliable. Such articles contribute to the negative view of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsociety on Rroma and can only be described as unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bourgeoise (2013) reports \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ton the views of the organization Opre Rrom that questions the existence of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbeggar networks among Rroma. Money earned begging is very rarely handed to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmafia-like networks, and is rather intended for their own families in Eastern \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEurope. The debate about Rroma networks is similar to the current discussions \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin Germany about Rroma kings and strong self-oppression among the Rroma. The UDC \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tparty in Vaud is starting an initiative to criminalize begging in almost all areas \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin Lausanne. Motivation for the ban is the belief that the Rroma beggars are part \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof organized criminal networks that one does not want to support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bourgeoise, Lise (2013) \u00abLes Roms de Lausanne ne font pas partie d\u2019un \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tr\u00e9seau\u00bb.
