Young Roma in France have launched a campaign calling on the state to officially recognise the genocide of Roma and Sinti people during World War II. At the centre of their message are wartime letters written by their ancestors from internment camps – unanswered pleas for help sent to the French authorities.

Between 250,000 and 500,000 Roma were killed by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during the Holocaust. Victims were subjected to internment, forced labour, sterilisation, deportation and mass execution.

The exact number is unknown, as many families never reported their losses and records of the killings were destroyed by those who carried them out.

The campaign is being led by the Zor Collective, which brings together young Roma, Travellers and Sinti from across France. They are using the hashtag #NosViesdeGitansComptent – Gypsy Lives Matter – to draw attention to their demand.

::: spoiler spoiler Children forced to grow up in war conditions will hate Russia and help their nation to survive, Dmitry Korchinsky has claimed

Ukraine should ban children from leaving the country, so that they are forced to experience the hardships of the conflict with Russia and grow up hating the enemy, a radical Ukrainian politician has proposed.

Dmitry Korchinsky, a veteran Ukrainian nationalist, who heads the far right Brotherhood party, said major restrictions should be introduced because "we are not fighting for democracy, we are fighting for survival."

"The survival of the nation requires us to ban not only fighting-age men, but also children from leaving," he told the Great Lviv news outlet on Sunday. "I understand that keeping kids abroad during war is less stressful for many. But we realize that those children will not come back to Ukraine."

"Ukrainian children must not hear Polish or German in their environment. They must be brought up to the sound of air sirens, gr

The leader of France's Republicans party has said he would be open to an alliance with Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally in snap French elections. Such an alliance would break a decades-old taboo.

Eric Ciotti, the head of the conservative French political party Les Republicans (LR), astounded political observers Tuesday by suggesting it was time to drop the longstanding taboo against working with the country's far-right National Rally (NR) party in hopes of taking power in snap elections called by centrist President Emmanuel Macron in the wake of Sunday's European parliamentary elections.

Speaking on TF1 TV, Ciotti said: "We say the same things, so let's stop making up imagined opposition. This is what the vast majority of our voters want. They're telling us, 'reach a deal."

Finns Party MP Timo Vornanen's arrest following a nightclub altercation in Helsinki has sparked significant attention. Allegedly, Vornanen discharged a firearm into the ground after a confrontation outside the Ihku nightclub. The fact that Vornanen, a first-term MP, previously served as a police officer for over two decades adds a layer of complexity and concern to the situation. The decision by the Finns Party's chair to cancel scheduled appearances in response to the incident underscores its seriousness.

President Alexander Stubb's comments expressing trust in the Finnish justice system reflect the broader public sentiment regarding the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. Despite the lack of injuries, authorities are treating the incident as an attempted aggravated assault and firearms offense, highlighting the potential severity of Vornanen's actions.

The decision not to immediately detain Vornanen suggests that a

First minister calls for end to vexatious reports after far-right agitators attempt to ‘overwhelm’ official systems

Neo-Nazi and far-right agitators are exploiting Scotland’s new hate crime law to make vexatious complaints en masse in an attempt to “overwhelm” police systems.

A prominent figure in England’s white nationalist movement is among those urging followers to spam Police Scotland with anonymous online reports, the *Observer *has found.

The leader of a far-right group – one of several fringe organisations being assessed by the UK government under its new extremism definition – promoted a private channel on the encrypted messaging app Telegram that includes a “call

Democrat Dakota Adams is mounting an uphill battle for a seat in the Montana Legislature in a deep red corner of the state. But even if his campaign fails, he expects a lifelong future in politics—drawing a stark divergence from his father, who founded the far-right Oath Keepers and is serving an 18-year sentence for conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Adams revealed his abusive upbringing at the hands of Stewart Rhodes, and the new path that he seeks to chart.

He said living with Rhodes was a constant proces
