“A small town made up of Sinti and Roma” is developing on the Munich exhibition grounds. The member of parliament Andreas Lorenz (CSU) visited the exhibition halls on Sunday (March 3rd).

Lorenz: “I found that many don’t even know the Ukrainian government districts.”

Research from Romea in the Czech Republic confirmed by local Roma NGOs and our own research on the web, show that photographs from Lviv, Ukraine, on which Roma are strapped to columns and sticky on their faces, are which are spreading on social networks have a somewhat different background. The photos allege that they are refugees from Kiev who were attacked without delay by local Ukrainians immediately upon arrival. However, as the Romea.cz news server found out, the context of the photos is somewhat different. This is allegedly a group of pickpockets who were arrested in this unacceptable way while stealing. Russian propaganda uses photographs disseminated in a different context to confirm the presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
