Slovakia: The President and Rroma Education

Published by:

Slovak President Andrej Kiska says that education is the way to address the Rroma issue and have them acquire the skills and education that are required on the labour market. Nice. It would help if the country stops segregating Rroma in schools…

Lausanne: Occasional Begging

Published by:

Lausanne banned begging a while back. Now they are backing off in saying that “occasional” begging should be allowed, i.e. if you don’t have enough money for your public transportation ticket.
In fact, they are trying to keep the interdiction in place for Rroma only … They could say it, it would be at least transparent.
