French Chronicle …

A collective of mothers is suing mayors in France for refusing to register Roma children to school, this in spite of the fact that they are legally obliged to do so. This is good, as this refusal of registration effectively amounts to racism. Another article highlights the need of school material for children, something out of reach for many poor children, and not only Roma. No week in France without a criminal case involving Roma in the press, and as usual, the undertones that all Roma are criminal.

An article on an exhibition of an Italian photographer on the ghetto of Stolipinovo in Bulgaria highlights a journalist ignorance. He thinks that Turkish speaker in Stolipinovo are Turcs. They are not, simply Roma who nowadays only speak old Turkish. Finally, an article on the Biennale in Venice with a long mention of Malgorzata Mirga-Tas.
