Slovenia: Manifestation

Published by:

On Saturday, September 28, a protest was held in Šentjerne in support of a parent who physically attacked an elementary school student because he allegedly bullied his son. It turned out that the Roma child who was attacked was not the perpetrator of peer violence at all. The protesters also pointed out the violence that Roma children allegedly cause in school.

Education and Minorities

Published by:

An article about the issue of seggregated schools versus the right to being taucht in one’s language. Background is the current drive by the Fico government to set up a school in Eastern Slovakia where teaching will be done in Romanes.

This is a false debate. All Roma who speak Romanes are dual language speakers. They speak the local language and Romanes. Desegregation is thus the key here, together with some courses about Romanes. Segregation and Romanes only schools will certainly no solve any issue.

At Wednesday’s (September 25) session of the parliament, the vice-chairman of the National Council, Andrej Danek (SNS), was bothered by the fact that deputy Lucia Plaváková (PS) had stickers on her computer.

Danko kicked her out of the hall. Huliak subsequently called Plaváková a “bitch who he does not consider a woman” at a press conference.
