The delegation wanted  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto get an idea of the Rroma situation in their home country, Rroma who who  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsometimes beg on the roads of Hall. While the representatives from politics and  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe church were able to reduce prejudices about organised begging gangs, the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tone-sided focus on marginalised Rroma gives the impression of a culture of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpoverty among the minority: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cFor the Roma  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom the 835-strong resort [Kalo\u0161a] 300 kilometres east of Bratislava, begging  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin Hall is a business model that enables their families to survive an allows  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthem to build a simple house after a few years.<\/em> <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cThe fear of some citizens of Hall, that the beggars belong to organised  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcriminal gangs is completely unfounded\u201d, says Bettina Wilhelm, Halls first  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfemale mayor. She was part of the delegation to Kalo\u0161a, the place of origin of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmost of beggars in Hall. [&#8230;] Since the fall of communism 25 years ago, many  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoma have no work, they live on welfare and child support. In return, they must  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twork a certain number of hours per month in charity. Also because of this, they  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn after 14 days in Hall to Slovakia. Neither to craftsmanship nor to  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tagriculture, they bear reference. Since the collective farms were closed, the  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tland lies fallow. Not even for their own use do they grow vegetables.\u201d<\/em> In  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSlovakia, according to assessments of the Rroma Foundation, there are an  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\testimated 450,000 to 550,000 Rroma. Not all of them are losers of the 1989  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tturnaround, as this article suggests. Rroma belong to all strata of society,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmany of them are well integrated.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bauer, Sigird (2014)  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRoma in Schw\u00e4bisch Hall: B\u00fcrgermeisterin besucht Bettler.
