Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò, Romnichals in Europe today
| These populations, called "gypsy" and "travellers" in pejorative and ethnocentric way, are still object of discrimination, marginalization and segregation.
The discrimination is extended to all fields, in the public and the private one, therefore the marginalization and the economic and social segregation of the Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò, Romnichals (Recommendation n.1557/2002 of the Council of Europe is transformed in ethnic discrimination).
In many European countries the multiple Communities Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò, Romnichals are not recognized like National Ethnic Linguistic Minorities and therefore they do not benefit of the rights that this status previews.
The turned social politics to the populations Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò and Romnichals aim openly to the social inclusion, integration, and assimilation.
Rare are the truths where the Communities Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò and Romnichals are considered thinking social protagonists, and where policies of interaction are put into effects, direct participation and cultural mediation.
Many European countries denies to the Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò and Romnichals the application of the European Paper on the Ethnic Linguistic Minorities, that protects the minority languages and denies the Reference frame for the National Minorities.
The European Sinti, Roma, Manouche, Kalò and Romnichals see in many cases denied the right to residence, the right to health, the right to education, the right to job.
In Italy the "nomadic camps" are still constructed, segregation places that concentrate the individuals against their will. In Italy the majority of the Common ones has emanated decrees of "no waiting to the nomads" that, in evident contrast with the constitutional dictation (article 16), deny the right to circulate and to stay freely on the national territory to the single Italian Citizens recognized like "nomads" or "gypsys".
In this dramatic situation the Roma coming from Bosnia, Yugoslava Confederation, Croatia, Rumania, Polonia, Hungary endure in excessive way politics discrimination, neglecting and putting away. |
