Guess who is taking charge of the Roma integration in Odessa in the Ukraine… The police.

Well, this won’t really work, won’t it?

The president of the ultra nationalist Ukrainian C14, Eugene Karas missed a good opportunity to shut up. In an interview with Glavkom, he described how, according to him, in Ukraine it is possible to “socialize” Roma and described how his group “polices” the streets of Ukrainian cities.
As a reminder – C14 was behind the attack in Kiev against a Roma camp.

In a UNN interview, a human rights activist, Zemfira Kondur, vice president of the Russian Chikryli Women’s Foundation said that today, up to 400,000 Roma live in Ukraine, but only 5-7% of the total live in camps and migrate around the country. The official numbers of Roma are much lower, essentially because most Roma simply don’t declare their origins.

A French politician from Marine Le Pen’s extreme right party “Rassemblement National” – formerly the Front National – has published a video of himself in front of a Roma camp claiming success in his fight so that at long last “Marseilles finally becomes Marseille again”.
