According \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto the journalist and the CDU (Christian Democratic Union), the findings are \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsobering. As reasons for the supposedly difficult integration, the journalist \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trefers to common prejudices about Rroma, which are thoughtlessly reproduced: <em>\u201eAccording to the CDU, the integration of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoma in Berlin is threatened to fail! Meanwhile, approximately 10,000 Roma live \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin the capital, tendency increasing. However, often they cannot be integrated: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcenturies-old traditions and clan structures can rarely be influenced by \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twestern strategies of integration.\u201c <\/em>Petersen conveys the notion of a culture \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tas corset, to which all Rroma subject to. Tellingly he doesn\u2019t mention the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprejudices, which exist since centuries and essentially contribute to their \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmarginalisation. A worldview that builds on prototypical conceptions of men, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand reduces the possibilities of a person to his or her will to act, is very \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treductionist. Apart from the prejudices and discriminations that impede an \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tintegration, the following measures are supposed to be applied to better \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinclude the immigrant Rroma: <em>\u201eRepresentatives \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom the youth welfare and the public health office, the school board and the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpolice from Berlin and Rumania shall together visit the Roma-families. In the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tprocess, proposals shall be made to the families and on the other hand, there \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tshall be sanctions, if for instance the children don\u2019t go to school. Only with \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdecisive actions can the integration succeed, the youth and health town \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcouncillor of Neuk\u00f6lln, Falko Liecke (41), stated. \u201cSo far, the plan of action \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof the senate is a paper tiger.\u201d Liecke developed the seven-point plan together \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twith Christina Schwarzer (38, CDU), MP of Neuk\u00f6lln, after a trip to Rumania.\u201c<\/em> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe plan of action also includes registering the Rroma, not an unproblematic \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tplan, as this would be an ethnic register, and the creation of more day schools \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand support in health insurance. According to the Rroma Foundation, an \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\testimated 110,000 to 130,000 Rroma live in Germany. The majority of them are \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twell integrated, work, send their children to school, and have their own \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tapartments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Petersen, Lars (2014) \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSoko-Zuwanderung soll sich um Roma k\u00fcmmern.
