Eric Zemmour, a French polemist who deliberately insulted minorities among which Rroma, was cleared by a French court. The reasoning beyond this was as usual that there was a part of reality.
SHAME!!!!
NOT ACCEPTABLE! Please say so to the vendor.
The web shop pulled the plug this afternoon. But they let it slip. Let’s watch.

The UN is insisting that Slovak politicians should not tolerate police violence against Rroma. In Slovakia, it happens on a regular basis, and this, with total impunity.
The French Front National got caught in a fake Twitter account story used to spread racists tweets, among them (see the bottom of the article) against Rroma.
SHAME!
Manes Bernardini from Bologna, again went overboard: He qualified the city of Bologna as a “Zingaropoli” – a “Gypsy Metrople”. He was slammed by the anti-discrimination council anf given a yellow card.
This is not the fist time that Bernardini uses populist anti-Rroma rhetoric. This has to STOP!
During the second Rroma cultural festival in Dortmund, young Rroma took part in a round table aimed at reducing stereotypes. They spoke about their lives, and clearly, these do not conform to the stereotypes. This can be felt in the article, as the journalist has trouble accepting that this is the norm and not the exception.
The exceptions are the ones the press speak about all the time!
The Slovak PM, Robert Fico literally said Slovakia cannot integrate refugees because they can’t integrate their own Rroma.
UNACCEPTABLE!
The anti foreigner attitude is common in the whole of Germany according to a recent research. This attitude extends to Rroma and Sinti who are, after all often enough Germans too!
SCARY
More of the same in France: A fire in a camp near Lyon, with wounded firemen; in Sucy, the mayor who had been accused of discrimination has been freed; in Tourcoing, Rroma are expulsed; in Lille, the expulsion order is being reviewed by a judge; in Choisy, Rroma were prevented creating a camps; in Nantes, Rroma children are enrolled in school, in spite of their upcoming eviction; and one of the young Rroma expulsed from La Courneuve is being casted in a reality show.
Scary thoughts about the direction Europe is taking on migrants and refugees. Will we see concentration camps again in the near future?
Amnesty International launched a petition to the Czech government protesting the enrollment of Rroma children in schools for children with disabilities. This practice is still continuing in spite of multiple protests.
THIS HAS TO STOP!
Police was attacked when they went into a camp near Kosiče, in Slovakia where they were called by paramedics following a fight within the camp. This is not the first time, and follows a pattern. The Slovak police is known for its heavy handed practices as well as for its bias against Rroma.
Barbara Stamm on refugees, migrants, and on the violence against them.
A MUST READ.
We reported about a planned wall in Wattrelos a while back. This wall that will separate the Belgian houses and garden from the French side where a transit camp for travellers is located. The Wall is going to be built in spite of several hefty protests.
SHAME.
Racist acts, against Moslems, but also against Rroma are on the increase in Belgium.
Xavier Bertrand, deputy mayor of Saint-Quentin in the North of France affirmed that travellers had military weapons. The former ministers wants to disarm them to prevent violence like the recent murder in a camp in the north of France.
This is definitively DAFT! But the Figaro went a step further…
While saying that no, travellers have no military weapons, it manages to say that all Rroma are stealing and dealing with stolen goods. Nice generalisation.
UNACCEPTABLE!
The Huffington post posted an article on refugees from the Balkan, with five issues that Europe needs to tackle if they ever want to get migration under control. Among these: Discrimination against Rroma in several Balkan Countries.
In view of the mounting evidence of discrimination against Rroma in Hungary, Canada is accepting more asylum applications from Hungarian Rroma.
AT LAST!
The police in Oslo has been slammed for blatant discrimination against Rroma and other minorities.
SHAME!
There was a clash between police and Rroma in a Rroma settlement near Kosice in the East of the country. The police claims they were attacked by around 200 Rroma. The Rroma version is of course different. They say the police beat up a man sleeping outside. The truth will never fully be known, but the track record of the Police in Slovakia is bad.
