Really? In Slovakia, a house in which Roma live has been bought by the municipality and will be demolished as it is a “disgrace” in the village. What about its inhabitants… Well best is that they move on.

Times of the Gypsies
The movie the Time of the Gypsies is now also a theatre production. It has been presented as a musical in Turkey for the first time.
While the movie was excellent as a movie, it presented Roma in a very stereotypical fashion. Let’s hope the theatre production will not do the same.

Slovenia: The Roma Councillors
15 years ago, Slovenia issued a law allowing for Roma to be represented at the local councils in all municipalities where they are present. This institution and the association of Roma Councillors have done a great deal to further the cause of Roma in that country.

This day is being commemorated across Germany.
