Pennsylvania and Refugees

August 18, 2017 Published by: RF

The Roma refugees of California, in Pennsylvania, seem to be doing quite well. They were the subject of many articles, many of which were full of racial stereotypes. Now it seems to have settled down thank to a few reasonable people.
Good.

What????

August 18, 2017 Published by: RF

The leader of the Jobbik partu, Gabor Vona, is asking the Orban Government to apologise to Roma for blocking any possibility of upward mobility. He is right in the statement, but Jobbik was associated with the Magyar Garda, a semi-military group which wanted to get rid of all Roma and Jews, a view shared by most of the Jobbik party.

Hungary: The Miracle of Cserdi

August 18, 2017 Published by: RF

A long article on Laszlo Bogdan, the mayor of the small village of Cserdi in the South Western part of the country. He has been fighting against unemployment and getting the people of the village, of which 75% are Roma to work. He did so with methods that are often controversial and authoritarian, and the work is mostly manual and in the agriculture. He is also very much against the Roma establishment and politicians, who, he says have pocketed millions from the EU without doing anything.
Can his model be expanded?
