The case of the police harassment of Rroma boys in Kosice is returning to court. Basically, all police officers are whitewashed. This is true racism.
Another article on Slovakia and on the fact that the EU is not doing enough – or rather one should say, anything. Like it is not doing anything in Hungary …
Another of these articles that feed on stereotypes. Kings, barons, mansions (well…), all stereotypes are here. Is it reality or is it something else? Besides the taste to be discussed, the view here is that all these Rroma did their money illegally on the back of the UK (or European, or else) taxpayer. Wrong… They worked!
A summary of the aggression against the young Rrom in Bulgaria who stated “you are my equal” to an obviously racist and brutal Bulgarian.
A polemic started in France because of a planned moive by a French humourist – Christian Clavier – called “Sivouplééé” – a play on the French “please” as pronounced by Romanian Rroma beggars. This movie shows a leftist intellectual who has to open his home to a family of Rroma. And of course, all stereotypes are present.
Toni Gatlif, the French Rroma movie maker simply finds this disgusting, and we share his point of view.
SHAME !!!
Swiss Jenische, interviewed on Swiss TV. Bad. Rroma – called here “transit travelers” – are dirty, leaving camping spots dirty, etc.
The Jenische are right to demand spots to camp in each of the Swiss cantons. It is bad that this hasn’t happened yet.
And the spring comes, and camps are dismantled or at least threatened … The French constant. In Ris Orangis, near Paris, a camp was dismantled; in Annet sur Marne, the tribunal will decide on May 6th about the camp, a camp which has neighbours up in arms; in Lyon, a new camp in the city; in the North, Rroma are being displaced to a new location in Vauban amidst opposition; and near Paris, a commune searches for a solution for sedentarised travellers.
Meanwhile, former residents of a camp in Paris are looking for a new address; and mayors in several cities in France are really increasing their racist rhetoric. Finally, a Bulgarian death in a camp lands in front of the justice – with the usual background of “human trafficking”.
A bomb was thrown at a Rroma children day care centre during the night in Zagreb. The daycare centre is located in the same building as the Rroma association of Croatia. This brings bad memories ….
The Slovak authorities have taken almost no measures aimed at reducing the segregation of Rroma in the Slovak School system. This is a SHAME!
A young Rrom was brutally beaten in Bulgaria (and the beating was filmed) for having said to the man he was his equal… If this is not racism!
The man has now been arrested. Let’s see what he is condemned to.

Professor Wilhelm Solms is awarded the German Federal Order of Merit for his work on the Antiziganismus and his engagement in this cause.
Congratulations!
A scary article on Militias in Eastern Europe. While they are “hunting” migrants, they also are turning up the heat against Rroma and even, in some countries against Jews.
The World Bank issued a statement condemning Romania acts of racism against Rroma while the US State department slams the country for corruption and discrimination of Rroma.
Well done.
A long article on Rroma beggars in Sweden. Numbers of beggars vary according to sources but range from 600 t0 4’000. Unfortunately, the article propagates stereotypes about Rroma….
Just a few selected statements from the French Prime Minister.
SHAME!
This week’s chronicle is dominated by a few places. First and foremost, Cogolin, in the South where a Front National Mayor commented the destruction on a Rroma camp live on TV – watch it, in case you doubt what this party stands for. The statements he made (about the odour etc.) are actually plain racist.
Then, near Paris, in Annet sur Marne, a camp’s fate is in the hand of the judges; in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, the mayor blocks a street to get rid of Rroma; in Lille, Rroma may be forced to leave while in Roubaix, garbage strewn on the street creates anger.
Then an article about a strategy about Rroma … One wonders, So much noise and work for less than 20’000 Rroma – the problem could have been resolved a long while back.
The US is naming the marginalization of Rroma in Bulgaria as that country’s biggest Human Right problem.
Let’s hope this has some impact!
Apparently, Poles don’t like Rroma and Arabs, but like Czechs and Italians… Wondering how the question was asked …
Right after having been condemned for racism, Jean-Maire Le Pen finds nothing better than celebrate with the French magazine “Rivarol” amongst a full set of true extremists making really racist comments.
Unfortunately, this cannot be condemned…
