Ukraine – House Arrests

Published by:

Four people are under house arrest in Lviv for the murder against a Rom last June. This definitively seems mild in comparison of the crime. Several of the perpetrators are minors and go to school. They also only face mild penalties (3 to 7 years of jail).

Published by:

Very few news on Roma in the French Press this week. First, a map of Lille, in the North of France on the Roma camps to understand the expulsions during the summer of 2018. It clearly shows that the closure of two large camps resulted in many more smaller ones being created. So much for expulsions … Near Paris, a manifestation for Roma who live in a camp that may be closed; the winter pause of expulsions saving a camp; and a clean-up action following a closure. Finally, in Avignon, three Roma schoolchildren live under a tent.

A new movie aims at deconstructing the stereotypes on Roma in Marseille – this is new in France. In Sètes, in the South, a temporary camp will be closed mid-November. In Montreuil, near Paris, yet another evacuation, and a pledge for the children who are the victims of such evacuations, losing their right to attend school in the process. Near Paris, in Noisy le Grand, a squat is provoking tensions in the neighbourhood. In the North, a Romni who is part of an integration program is again expulsed – nasty. Finally, the story of a young Rom from Romania who has created is own enterprise in Strasbourg.

Hungary and Work

Published by:

According to Mr. László Kövér, the Speaker of the Parliament, Hungary which currently has a real labour shortage can count on two pillars: One is in the education system, which and the other is the “non-integrated part of the Roma population in Hungary. The education system has been underfunded and is segregating Roma, and Roma, especially in the countryside are forced to work in menial jobs under a public works program…
This is not really promising.
