Roma Integration

A debate on the difficulties of integration for Roma. Unfortunately, with the usual stereotypes of 80% of the Roma being poor, travelling, uneducated, etc. all the while saying there are 12 millions of them, which, if they all corresponded to the stereotypes would be much more visible.

Roma Refugees in Germany

April 5, 2022 Published by: Roma Foundation

“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). His conclusion: “Today, 2,100 people are housed here. 1,200 of them are children. 90 percent are Sinti and Roma.” Apparently not all those who arrive come from the Ukraine. “Around 30 percent have no papers”, can be heard in the exhibition halls. Lorenz: “I found that many don’t even know the Ukrainian government districts.”
