Slovakia: Opposition to Rroma Community Centre

März 4, 2017 Published by: RF

In Poprad, a petition against a Rroma Community Centre was signed by 1’300 people… And it is supported by the city hall. A lawyer of the Rroma says that such petitions should not encourage the violation of the constitution. He is right.
