Germany and Berlin Festival
The Central Council of Sinti and Roma in Germany issued a statement about the Berlin Festival and the movie on Django Reinhardt’s life.
They greeted the release of this movie and the fact that it was shown at the opening of the festival, stating that the festival gave a strong signal that the situation of minorities always reflects the situation of the society at large.

Bosnian Rrom Actor
The Bosnian Rroma actor Nazif Mujic who won a Silver Bear award for Best Actor for his performance in the film ‘An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker’ at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2013 is selling his trophy because he needs money.
A shame for Bosnia and for us all.

French Chronicle …
In spite of some positive coverage due to the international Rroma day, this week’s French chronicle is not particularly nice. First, an intervention of the police in a Rroma camp near the prison of Loos in the North of France, an attempt to remove the Rroma from this camp; in the North, two families are expulsed; toilets are awaited in a camp near la Rochelle in the West of France; a new camping spot for travelers is installed near Paris in the bois de Vioncennes; near Paris, the arrival of Rroma is problematic; the Seine’s banks are being cleaned near a former Rroma camp; and news about a gang of thieves who stole tools near Dijon.
On a more positive note, a French Radio broadcasted for a day from a Rroma ghetto in Paris; and a positive action in the North of France!
