OĽaNO and Roma

Published by:

The big surprise of the last elections in Slovakia was the re-emergence of the OĽaNO party, which took almost all localities in Eastern Slovakia with a large Roma minority.

Electoral fraud was immediately suspected. But no concrete cases were found so far. The explanation of this success was presented by Igor Matovič, the party head, together with Peter Pollák, a Roma representative of this party. They said that it was the fear of the populist (and anti-Roma) Fico who drove Roma to vote en masse for OĽaNO.

Slovak Parliament

There will be 6 Roma in the new Slovak Parliament. 6 out of 150, so not quite yet at the population level. 4 of them are from the OĽaNO party.

Germany and the Sinti Romanes

The Romanes of the Sinti is closely interwoven with the Koblenz subculture. As kickboxing world champion, Marlon Reinhardt often lets his fists do the talking. But the 32-year-old is also intensively involved in the Sinti community.
