The young socialists in Szitwerland want to forbid the term “Zigeunerschnitzel” – a form of grilled meat. The controversy went further and led to discussions about a festival in Switzerland organised by the “Fahrendes Zigeuner Kulturzentrum” – a Jenische Organisation that has been organising events for the last 30 years.
