The interesting story of a small Slovak town which benefited a lot from the remittances of Slovaks (many of them Rroma) living in the UK. They now fear for the future of this little town following Brexit.

Slovak President Andrej Kiska says that education is the way to address the Rroma issue and have them acquire the skills and education that are required on the labour market. Nice. It would help if the country stops segregating Rroma in schools…

Lausanne banned begging a while back. Now they are backing off in saying that “occasional” begging should be allowed, i.e. if you don’t have enough money for your public transportation ticket.
In fact, they are trying to keep the interdiction in place for Rroma only … They could say it, it would be at least transparent.
