Slovenia and the Roma “Problem”

Published by:

Another article on the Roma “Problem” in Slovenia in the regions of Dolenjci, Belokranjci, and Posavci. The situation is difficult, but to write what is in the article is not exactly helpful. The article says:

“The majority of Roma are uneducated and consequently unemployed. Roma settlements, most of which grew up on foreign land, with “black” houses, became ghettos, and it is difficult to talk about any kind of socialization. The main source of livelihood for the majority is social transfers, which depend on the size of the family – more children, more money. But what if many spend it on alcohol, drugs and weapons, and crime and threats to people’s safety are also connected to this.”

So in brief, we are all uneducated unemployed social security abusers with many children who are alcoholics and drug addicts… How about a sanity check about those statements?
