Switzerland and Roma Refugees

May 9, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

The Swiss minister in charge of refugees now stats that Ukrainian Roma with dual citizenship will have to leave Switzerland.

Only one little thing is not published: There are less than 10 cases that are officially acknowledged. And none on the Roma who are considered to be “problematic”.

Window dressing in politics. Shameful.

Switzerland and Roma Refugees

The story of a small village that set up a special class for 6 Roma children from Ukrainian Roma refugees, only to see that they left.

This happens, but generally doesn’t happen just because of school. There are other pressures that are applied to those Roma mostly coming from Transcarpathian Ukraine where they lived in very hard conditions, literally overwhelming them. Some prefer simply to leave.
