A non-Roma view of the Roma Luma political congress. According to the article, efforts to unify the Roma minority have appeared frequently in the past, but according to the organizers of the convention, they have always come to naught, and the Roma now have no adequate representation. And that is precisely why the Roma Luma political party was created.

On Saturday afternoon, a Roma meeting was held in Prague, organized by the Roma Luma political party and the Buči association. The event was called the All-Republic Congress of Roma and non-profit organizations, and the participants debated about Roma leaders and the representation of Roma in the public sphere. Roma Luma has two presidents, Mark Cavali and Emil Zajac, who gave an interview to ROMEA TV.

Roma Luma is not necessarily a popular group. As they insulted several people and organisations in the past. “We have apologized to some people, including the ROMEA organization. And I think that now is the right step for us all to meet each other and work together for our community,” said Marco Cavali in the interview.

According to Emil Zajac, Roma Luma proposes that a Roma be elected in each district, who would then represent the Roma. “It would be nice if those people were elected by our people. We can then call them in quotation marks as vajdy,” explained Emil Zajac.
