By looking at the pictures, you could think the article is about Roma. It isn’t. It is about the housing situation of poor people in Budapest and them being driven out to the suburbs and to very precarious situation.
Not good.

Hungary – Tensions

Published by:

A sad story in Encs, a small village in North Eastern Hungary: A five year old Roma girl was run over by a local, triggering a riot and resulting in police patrols in the village. This is just a sign of the tensions that exist in Hungary between Roma and the local population.
Bad.

Hungary and Work

Published by:

According to Mr. László Kövér, the Speaker of the Parliament, Hungary which currently has a real labour shortage can count on two pillars: One is in the education system, which and the other is the “non-integrated part of the Roma population in Hungary. The education system has been underfunded and is segregating Roma, and Roma, especially in the countryside are forced to work in menial jobs under a public works program…
This is not really promising.
