Poland: Conflict
A conflict is brewing between residents of the village of Koszary in the Limanowa district. Roma illegally burn cables in their housing estate to get metals from them. “The stench is so bad you can’t breathe,” say the residents of Koszary. The residents say Roma react very aggressively to all the comments against them. This is confirmed by the recent situation when the residents of the estate beat up the TVP team that was making a program about the situation in the village.
