The allegations of an 11 years old gadži whereby she had been brutally aggressed by Roma prompted a wave of racism against Roma.
She lied …
An article on a new Hungarian law and its application that we have already mentioned. Mezokeresztes was the first municipality in the country to implement the so-called Local Identity Preservation Act, passed by Parliament in June, which allows municipalities to screen people who settle there.
The Mezokeresztes municipality purchased houses, mostly belonging to Roma, on the grounds that they were unsanitary and demolished them.
Roma students from Malý Slivník, Slovakia, were segregated at school according to the court. The anti-discrimination lawsuit, which has been won, has created an issue with the so-called two shift classes (one for Roma, one for others).
A reportage in Swiss television on Roma Travellers and how they are delt with. Recently, the police in the canton of Valais stopped many caravans and blocked a highway to stop them and turn them around.
The job center, police, and press descend on a hotel occupied by Roma in a low-income accommodation in Schöneberg on Tuesday morning. Employees of the Berlin job center arrived unannounced at the “BB Hotel Berlin” on Fuggerstraße at 6 a.m. with a contingent of 21 police officers. The Tagesspiegel newspaper was also there to photograph the action and subsequently report on the “notorious Roma accommodation.”
Critics speak of antigypsyism and media incitement.
In Czechia, Romnja are often the victims of hate speech and commentaries on social media. The NOG Ara made a study highlighting this issue.
A commentary on the outcome of the recent elections in Czechia. Babiš’ party, while coming first in the elections doesn’t have enough seats to form a government. His possibility is to align and enter a coalition with extreme right parties which are profoundly racist. In addition, they are pro-Russian and anti-EU, which the majority of the Czech electorate is not.
With 24-hour patrols by the Greek Police in Roma camps and the announcement of the recruitment of 50 gypsy police officers, the Ministry of Citizen Protection is attempting to present a new policing and mediation plan. It started all with a claim that effectively, Roma are basically criminals.
Roma in Greece are protesting against those measures and say that those measures will not build trust.
The Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis clarified that “the police will hire approximately 50 uniformed police officers, unarmed, with special duties, who will be close to the Police Departments of the areas where these vulnerable groups live and will play the role of social mediator, this will be their mission.”\
So basically not really police, and not a role that can be sustained.
The headline says it all: Praise of “Roma” in Brussels, and here: A mother gave birth to 6 children by different fathers, keeps them hungry!
First we hope that he 6 children did not happen in one go … and then, this kind of pandering to the worst negative stereotypes against Roma but also against Europe is really bad. Let’s just remind these people that without Europe, they would have a lot more to complain about.
Three Roma remains collected for racist research purposes around 150 years ago have been interred at Leipzig’s Südfriedhof Cemetery. “In the best case scenario, we can succeed in alleviating some of the suffering that was committed long ago in the here and now,” said Prof. Martin Gericke, who heads provenance research at the Institute of Anatomy in Leipzig.
The Zurich Anti-Racism Office removed the book title “Zigeuner” from an event. Isabella Huser, a Yenish author speaks of absurd censorship. The issue there is that Yenish, a traveller minority in German speaking lands (mostly Switzerland and Rhine valley) often denote themselves as “Zigenuer”. But for Sinti and Roma, the use of this term is akin to the N-word.
In Gelsenkirchen, the SPD governed with an absolute majority for a long time. Now the shock is deep: In the local elections, the AfD fell just 0.5 percent short of victory. FOCUS-online reporter Ulf Lüdeke asked the local authorities why this was the case shortly before the mayoral runoff.
One of the statements of this article is that:
“The population has shrunk to around 270,000, 75,000 of whom do not have German passports. 11,000 are Roma and Sinti from Bulgaria and Romania. Thanks to EU labour freedom, criminal clans lure them legally to the Ruhr region, herd them into abandoned, dilapidated properties, and rip them off on social security contributions.”
Besides the fact that there are no Sinti in Bulgaria or Romania, this statement is utterly inacceptable.
Two articles on the follow up of the death of a man aggressed by Roma in Zlaté Moravce. Now, all Roma are on “rampage”, are dangerous and aggressive.
Why is it that for minorities, the guild of one is the collective guilt of the community? This is just racist.
Paul Ziemiak (40), member of the CDU Federal Executive Board and Secretary General of the NRW CDU, during a TV Talk Show hosted by Maybrit Illner addressed the criticism of many voters regarding the “massive” immigration of Sinti and Roma from Romania and Bulgaria in the debate on social abuse.
Apart from the fact that there are no Sinti in either Bulgaria and Romania, highlighting the ignorance of both the politician and the journalist, this immigration is not massive, and is not the main problem faced by social care in most western countries: Single mothers, elederly are often poor and consume a very large part of the money. But this doesn’t win votes …
The Greek Police is planning to recruit 100 Roma, as revealed by “TA NEA”, the Ministry of Citizen Protection a few days after Michalis Chrysochoidis announced the installation of a force of 70-100 police officers in camps to control delinquency. This process, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year, has as its main objective the better operational planning and the creation of information networks of the security authorities to deal with gangs in the western suburbs of Attica, but also where there is a density of Roma, as this particular community is considered to have a large share (over 50%-60%) in thefts, burglaries and frauds.
This is very closely reminiscent of what the nazis did … https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jüdischer_Ordnungsdienst
Greek Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis announced the installation of specialized police officers inside the Roma camps. This will start happening in 1.5 months, while the police officers in question will be subordinate to the Greek FBI.
“This tolerance that existed for years -decades- and which for me is incomprehensible, must come to an end”, he stressed.
Basically, he is saying Roma are criminals that need to be monitored…
Ivan Molan has been the mayor of the municipality of Brežice since 2005, when he first ran for mayor in the by-election and was successful.
On the Roma “Issue” he says: “The laws that we mayors proposed are described as discriminatory, even racist. But we only want things to finally be sorted out. Because what is happening now in this area, that is, the criminal acts committed by certain groups against the local population are practically legalized, is unacceptable, and the greatest damage has been done to the majority Roma population. It has come to the point that people are afraid of the Roma and no longer distinguish between those who respect the law and those who commit crimes on a daily basis. However, the ruling politicians, by defending criminal activity in the sense of violating human rights, are only worsening the situation.”
No comments …
Dries Van Langenhove appears before the Leuven Criminal Court on Tuesday. The far-right activist is due to answer for comments made during a controversial lecture he gave last year in a lecture hall at KU Leuven.
The conference was organized on February 28, 2024, at the initiative of the Nationalist Student Association (NSV). The founder of the Schild & Vrienden movement was supposed to give a lecture on regenerative agriculture, but instead preferred to present his political vision, making numerous controversial statements. He stated, in particular, that “it is logical that fewer Black Africans obtain engineering degrees, but that they are better long-distance runners because there are differences between ethnic groups.” He also called Roma women “thieves.”
On Thursday, masked men from the Inspection Service intervened directly at the district department in Bratislava’s Old Town. They took away a police officer from among his colleagues who, according to the findings, was supposed to spread extremist expressions and behave in a manner incompatible with the profession of a law enforcement officer. He apparently made comments against Jews and Roma.
Good he was arrested. Let’s see if he should rightfully loose his job.
Andres Veiel’s rich investigative documentary “Riefenstahl” states the obvious: The infamous German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl was an outright Nazi. But as with any good film, the key isn’t what it’s about but how it’s about it. Given full access to the personal archive of the director who made “Olympia” and “Triumph of the Will,” Veiel builds an overwhelming, indisputable case that not only was Riefenstahl a Nazi, but you also can’t separate the art from this artist’s politics.
