The story of the the Roma families evicted from a settelment in Košice, Slovakia, who relocated to Szalonna, Hungary seems to have taken another turn.

Two Roma families, who apparently do not speak Hungarian and live in deep poverty, have reportedly left Szalonna for Košice, but it is unclear if their departure is permanent or temporary.

Local residents expressed fears of mass resettlement of Roma families from Slovakia, prompting the Szalonna municipality to quickly pass a regulation to prevent further relocations.

The situation has drawn political attention, with a mayoral candidate in Košice using the issue to gain popularity, while the families face challenges due to language barriers and lack of social services in their new location.
