Slovakia: Fire

Published by:

108 Roma lost their homes after a fire gutter a housing estate in Matejovce, in the Poprad region on February 22nd. The Roma were initially housed in a school but have now been moved to a cinema. There is no permanent situation in sight, and this at a time where the weather is extremely bad.

French Chronicle …

Published by:

A large Roma camp was closed this week in Sainte Luce sur Loire in Western France, prompting many articles in the press. On a more positive note, an article about an “integration village” in the region of Nantes highlights the fact that expulsions are not the right way to deal with Roma camps. Near Paris, a new camp was established in Houilles; in Ris Oranigies, the Roma left their camp for a site that is classified as extremely toxic; along the Marne river, near a Roma camp, a huge clean-up of garbage has been organised; and in Saint Denis, a hospital gives shelters. In the North of France, a house where squatters lived burnt down; a mayor’s tongue slipped – he compared one of his opponent to Roma and it was not meant to be a compliment; an association is ready to collaborate with the prefect; an initiative of a travelling school; and finally an initiative of students who are helping school children.

Uzhgorod – First School

An article about one of the first Roma school which opened in Uzhgorod in 1926, at that time in Czechoslovakia. It also describes the osada in the city and the living conditions. A good read.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Published by:

The controversy that followed casting a white student in the role of Esmeralda in the play based on Victor Hugo’s novel on the Hunchback of Notre Dame has made it to the front page of major newspapers in the US. Several students of the high school which scheduled the play managed to have it cancelled, saying that casting a “white” student in the role of a Romni was racist or at least cultural appropriation. Reactions against them were really bad and of course, Breitbart also pitched in.
What does it have to do with Roma: Well, actually not much, as the only thing that links Roma to this controversy is the fact that they are depicted in a play … Let’s hope that they are not the un-intended victims of this controversy.

Slovakia: Boarding Schools

Published by:

There is a real media frenzy lately in Slovakia regarding the so-called “Roma Crime” and many suggestions of populists “solutions” to this “problem”. One of them is again the idea of setting up boarding schools. They are presented as a mean to help Roma get a better education and at reducing crime (yes). Arguments against these schools are presented here by Abel Ravasz, the Roma plenipotentiary in Slovakia.
Unfortunately, this has already been tried under communism. And, as these boarding schools were 100% Roma, the level of education provided was really low. This will happen again here. It is simply an attempt at assimilation.

Published by:

More news this week in France on Roma. Main news is the subject of another post … Other than that, the mayor of the town of Sucy is again in front of the judges (third instance) for having denied Roma children the right to go to school. Let’s hope she is definitively condemned. Near Paris, in the Essons, a fire in a Roma camp injured three people. In Lille, in the North, a camp will be definitively closed. In Sètes, in the South West of France, 62 people were moved from a camp into temporary dwellings while in Montpellier, 40 Roma delegates invited themselves to a meeting of the city council. Finally, in Montpellier too, the story of an abduction of a dog by Roma. This story is doing the rounds in France, unfortunately.

Special Schools …

It seems that the situation in the Czech Republic hasn’t improved at all in the last three years. 12.7% of Roma children are relegated to schools for children with mental disorders.

Very few news on Roma this week in France. Well, it’s Christmas week so bad news and Roma are not required to fill the papers.
First, a reportage on children of “Gitans” on M6 on January 7th. Just from the title and description, this doesn’t look good. Then, in Paris, an article on what happened to the inhabitants of a camp that was closed recently: Only 120 of the 300 people were taken care of, and some were proposed housing far from the schools of their children. In fact, children were removed from school rooters. Shame on them. Near Paris, a centre for integrated Roma will be put in place, whatever this means and will do. In Marseilles, the judges ponder on property rights following the fire in a squat that killed one person. In Montpellier, one again speaks about mistreatment of animals in a camp, while in Nantes, a solidarity movement is under way to help homeless and migrants. Finally, in Breizh Info (a really rabid news channel, a title page of three Roma who stole sheep and sold their meat.

Roma Children in Bosnia

Published by:

A reportage on a project of Caritas in Bosnia to help children integrate in the school system. The project is run in ten primary schools in Bosnia.
The article contains the usual views on Roma – better learn rather than beg – and fails to indicate that ten school are only a few of the one needed. But much more, it fails to say that many Roma were victims of the war and were evicted from their original homes.

Slovakia: Special Schools or not?

Published by:

Slovakia has a tradition of putting Roma in special school for children with mental problems. An NGO wanted to check the situation. It still exists, but is probably more differentiated. In the Rokycani district, 20% of Roma children are still enrolled in such schools. High by any standards, but lower than it was.

Not many news this week in France – probably a reflection on the moratorium on expulsions during the winter. Well, the least news there are, the better!
First, a reportage on Roma children who are not attending school, essentially because their parents are not registered in the commune. Sometimes also because mayors are actively preventing Roma children from attending school in their districts. Then, the usual news: In Alfortville, residents want a camp to be closed; in Ivry, a collective is trying to help Roma who were expulsed a long while back from their camp; in Pantin, an illegal traffic of pets; in the North, the decision to forbid foraging trash has been upheld by the Conseil d’Etat; and finally in Strassbourg, a new camp for roughly 30 asylum seekers and some Roma.
