A woman in her 40s approached an 80 years old man saying that she was from a Roma association helping seniors and offered to help him withdraw money. He agreed but she then took the envelope with 30,000 crowns from him and left. The police are looking for her.

This is bad for all.

School Segregation in the Czech Republic

The paradox of today’s Czech Republic is that a country that aspired to connect with the liberal West after the fall of communism, tolerates a system of educational segregation that would put to shame even the illiberal regimes it once condemned. According to PAQ Research, there are 130 schools in the Czech Republic that are de facto “only for Roma”, where Roma children make up more than a third of the students. There are still 130 segregated schools in the Czech Republic. A third of Roma children end up in them.

Czechia and Elections

In the Ušti nad Labem region, in the last parliamentary elections, many Roma preferred Andrej Babiš (ANO). Now, after many years, they have their own candidate, who, thanks to the communists, can get into the Chamber of Deputies. “Kateřina Konečná gives us a historic chance, but Roma voters must help me,” says 44-year-old Marco Cavali and thanks the KSČM chairwoman for the opportunity, who confirmed him as the electoral three on the Stačilo! candidate list in the Ústí nad Labem region. However, Cavali has been insolvent since 2022, but he does not consider financial problems an obstacle to electoral success.
