Rome – Protests

Published by:

In the afternoon of September 13, Roma families of the Camping River camp decided to return to their homes in Via Tenuta Piccirilli 207, on the Tiberina, in the North of Rome. They were protesting against the illegitimate eviction ordered by Matteo Salvini and Virginia Raggi on July 26, 2018: “we want to guarantee a school and a home for all our children: we cannot live on the streets”.
It is a shame …

Also near Paris, a squat will be demolished; in Melun, Roma will have to leave the old hospital in which they have been living for a long time; a club suspends its activities due to the presence of a new Roma camp; and a more positive prize for architecture of social housing for Roma. In Strasbourg, a Rom died electrocuted in a migrant centre. In Angers, in Western France, a squat isn’t sure of its fate.
Finally, on France Culture, a reportage on the Roma in the French Resistance.
