More Crime … Geneva

More Crime … Geneva

A sordid story of a mal prostitute from Romania and his client and violence. The prostitute slit the throat of the client in whose flat he was living, killed the dogs and torched the flat.

OK, it is crime. What is the relevance here of the fact that the two criminals were Rroma? Does it add anything or does it just strengthen stereotypes?

German Incitation to Racial Hatred

A German citizen (handicapped) has been condemned in Germany for incitation to racial hatred for having published comments stating “when will further Gypsy cars burn” and a few others on his webpage …

GOOD!

No Racism???

No Racism???

Not acceptable. Gilles Bourdouleix’ condemnation for racism for having said that “Hitler probably did not kill enough of them” has been slashed. The reasoning from the judges is quite special: He did not intend these words to be made public… But he told them, so he is certainly racist.

SHAME AND PROTEST!!!!

France; Saint-Genis-les-Ollières – again

In spite of protests by the mayor and by the town’s residents, the French state ordered the continuation of the works for the so-called insertion village for Rroma. The opposition of the residents is totally overblown and shows what people actually think about Rroma in France.

Racist Statements

Racist Statements

A new book by Tanja Kambouri in Germany, entitled “Deutschland im Blaulicht. Notruf einer Polizistin” [Germany in blue light. Emergency calls of a policewoman], contains statements that are simply not acceptable. The book states for example that “Sinti und Roma sind meist Großfamilien mit fehlender Bereitschaft, sich zu integrieren” [Most Sinti and Roma are large families that show no readiness to integrate].

SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE … This shows a clear lack of understanding of the Rroma minority and clear racist prejudices.

Well done!

Racist Statements in Berlin

Published by:

A study presented by the authorities and experts see an increase of parallel justice in Berlin and state that this creates a climate of fear. This is fine and good. But …

Professor Mathias Rohe, main author of the study states that “Man findet solche Strukturen häufig auch bei Sinti und Roma sowie in mafiös organisierten Gruppen”[one finds such structures also among Sinti and Roma as well as in mafia-like organised groups] – referring to parallel justice etc.

This is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE!

France: Opposition to an Integration Village

The inhabitants and the mayor of the small village of Saint-Genis-les-Ollières near Lyon are continuing their opposition to an integration village (village d’insertion) for Rroma in their commune. They are now giving back their elector’s cards and the mayor’s trying a last legal recourse against this decision.

A Missed Opportunity

A Missed Opportunity

The former French President, Nicolas Sarkozy again missed a good opportunity to remain silent. He again fumed against immigration, refugees, and Rroma.

Pity that France did not close their border in 1956… He would be playing with Orban in Hungary nowadays!

Geneva Police in Romania

Geneva Police in Romania

The Geneva police went to investigate a case of human trafficking – a man accused to have sold his invalid son to go and beg in Geneva. As usual, stereotypes prevail. No one has so far proven that there are criminal clans engaged in begging. There are families who live from that, but this is about it. And it is not a business – not for 20 CHF per day.

Gens Du Voyage in France: Unwanted

Besides being criminals (see other post), Gens du Voyage – travellers, are also unwanted in France. People don’t want them near them for sure. This term usually covers Manouches, Sinti, and Lovara and Kaldersasha who are at home in France besides non-Rroma groups of travellers.
