The resident Rroma had obey \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe verdict of the local mayor, who planned to build a park and a church on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir previous place of residence. The displaced Rroma now live on the site of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta former chemical plant. The hygienic conditions are precarious: For around 360 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpeople there is only one shower system. Initially, there were not even toilets \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin the one-room apartments. The English clergy has now appealed to the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treligious and moral conscience of the city mayor Emil Boc, in collaboration \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twith Amnesty International, and asked this segregation to be ended. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcriticism by the English happens during a highly politicized context, with \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBritish Conservatives repeatedly criticising the alleged upcoming mass \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmigration of Rroma into Britain to tap the welfare system. To describe the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma in their countries of origin as victims and as perpetrators in Western \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEurope is symptomatic of the stereotyped coverage of the minority. The article \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgoes on to compare the integration efforts of Romania and Great Britain. While \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom Alexander\u2019s perspective, the Rroma policy of Romania has to be strongly \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcriticised, for the press officer of Emil Boc, this is political propaganda: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cWe are far more tolerant than you guys, she \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsaid. The children get free buses to school. Before they were living in slums \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tanyway. When they were moved to Pata Rat, it wasn&#8217;t that the land was bad and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tno one wanted to live there. It was just the only available area.\u201d <\/em>One \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthird of the annual budget is said to be spent on social projects, the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tspokeswoman continues. For Alexander, however, it remains clear that Pata Rat \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tis a clear example of state-organized segregation. The two sides remain at \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\todds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alexander, Harriet (2014) Roma on the rubbish \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdump: British religious leaders call on Romanian mayor to reverse forced \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tevictions.
