The Scandal Pictures

The picture of Roma bound to posts made it through social media, amplified by Russia, alleging this was outright discrimination. As usual, reality is more circumstantiated, as these Roma were caught stealing (see also below the article in Romea). Nevertheless, self-justice, and especially of this kind is not acceptable.

This Ukrainian article strongly condemn this act, and effectively says this plays in the hand of the Russians in their attempt to portray all Ukrainians as Nazis.

EU and Roma

European Parliament representatives, the European Commission and the Council of Europe Development Bank, together with local authorities, Roma communities and private sector organizations, will launch a pilot project to promote affordable housing solutions for Roma.

The initiative, known as the HERO pilot project – Housing and Empowerment for Roma – is funded by the European Parliament (EP), managed by the European Commission (EC) and implemented by the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) together with local partners in the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria and Romania. The aim of the project is to test an innovative model of social investment that addresses the socio-economic exclusion of disadvantaged people, such as marginalized Roma.

Better housing, employment and better living conditions are to be brought by the HERO – Housing and Empowerment for Roma project, funded by the European Parliament to members of marginalized Roma communities. If the aid model implemented in five Slovak municipalities and others in Bulgaria and Romania proves successful, it is to be applied throughout Europe, as per Ingrid udviková from the Press Office of the European Commission (EC) in Slovakia.
