Jozef Božik, the chairman of the Association of Towns and Villages of Slovakia (ZMOS), is facing backlash after being accused of insulting the Roma community by referring to them as “Indians.”
The mayor of Zámutov, who initiated the controversy, is demanding Božik’s resignation, which he firmly rejects.
Božik claims that the accusation is taken out of context and has led to severe personal attacks against him and his family.
