An article about a Roma setllement in the Hungarian Matra mountains. There, according to Local representative Nikolett Szomora, around 80% of the residents are struggling with substance abuse.

The article is definitively preo-Jobbik, an extreme right party in Hungary (but by far not the one further on the right).

The situation is deplorable, and in those settlements, most people are unemployed. The last 30 years saw a steady decline in living conditions.
