Czech Ombudsman

Stanislav Křeček, the current Czech ombudsman and former ČSSD politician, is, to put it mildly, extravagant. Critics blame him for ignoring his agenda and not understanding it at all. Křeček became famous for his statements about the fact that Roma discrimination does not exist in the Czech Republic – that is, in a country that has already lost before the European Court of Human Rights due to Roma segregation.

He should be removed from office.

Brno: Protests

Ahead of the meeting of the Brno City Council, a group of people demonstrated in front of the town hall, drawing attention to the poor conditions of Roma refugees from Ukraine. They had banners with slogans such as “We are all human, let’s treat each other humanly”, “Solidarity without differences”, “Their husbands are fighting for their homeland and their wives are sleeping on the ground with their children” or “Stop selective solidarity”.

The famous Romani musician Ida Kelarová was nominated for a Czech state award. She refused the nomination for as long as Miloš Zeeman is the president.

She is right.

The Czech police finally admitted it: The Czech government rhetoric that they would not support Roma refugees from the Ukraine because most of them have the Hungarian nationality is a lie. According to the police only 150 out of more than 5’000 registered Roma had a Hungarian passport and background.

This is called institutional racism.

Really ????

The Czech have been saying that they had many Roma refugees from the Ukraine that had a Hungarian passport, thus justifying the blanket denial of help.

Well, it is not quite like that. 150 Roma out of 5’000 had a Hungarian passport, according to the Czech police.

Ukrainian Roma and the Czechs

The Czech government is denying Roma from the Ukraine who have a Hungarian passport or no Ukrainian proof of citizenship asylum. They ended up sleeping in Prague’s central railway station. Now, they will no longer be allowed to and are being put up in a tent camp. On Tuesday (May 31), they opened another temporary tent town for them, and the state offers them the opportunity to return home or to Hungary, if they also have Hungarian citizenship, free of charge. The editor of RTVS Boris Kršňák dealt with the topic at Rádiožurárna on Radio Slovakia.
