Czech Ombudsman

Czech Ombudsman

Stanislav Křeček, the current Czech ombudsman and former ČSSD politician, is, to put it mildly, extravagant. Critics blame him for ignoring his agenda and not understanding it at all. Křeček became famous for his statements about the fact that Roma discrimination does not exist in the Czech Republic – that is, in a country that has already lost before the European Court of Human Rights due to Roma segregation.

He should be removed from office.

Slovakia and Help to Poor Families

Slovakia and Help to Poor Families

The package of laws passed by the finance minister Igor Matovič is not good for poor families. The allowance for first-year students will be abolished, the poorest will only receive a small tax bonus, and the state will take half of the allowances for children whose parents do not send them to school – although the parents no longer receive the money, but the municipality. This last measure clearly aimed at Roma.

Bad.

Slovakia and its History

The young Slovak historian Viktória Rigová focused her research on so called “problematic” youth. The result of her research is a very interesting and thought-provoking book, Youth over the Abyss, in which she presents the results of her research into a neglected area of Slovak social history. It monitors the social care of children and youth during the interwar period of Czechoslovakia and the Slovak State, i.e. in the period 1918-1945. In a narrower focus, it focuses on children and youth, referred to as “problem youth”.

Slovakia and Osada

The United Nations (UN) has warned for many years that climate change will hit the most vulnerable population groups with the lowest ability to adapt. In Slovakia, they are mainly residents of Roma settlements who, even in 2022, often live without access to basic infrastructure, education or drinking water. “It’s hard to convince people in a poor area to triage at all when they don’t have access to drinking water or sewage. Many people in Slovakia and Europe live in the conditions of the African continent. It is very difficult to talk to them about climate change,” stated MEP Peter Pollák (OĽaNO/EPP) at the discussion Green change from below, organized by the EURACTIV Slovakia portal.
