One of those articles… In the Plovdiv village of Rogosh, the tension between two neighbouring families has reached a critical point. Hristina and Ivan Genkovs contacted our media, claiming that they live in constant stress and fear because of the problems with their neighbours – Ginka and Sasho. According to them, they are of Roma origin, and the problems began several years ago, when Sasho moved into the neighbouring property, and since then there has been almost no peace in the neighbourhood.

In brief, if Roma move in, this is a mess. Bad.

An article about a police intervention about several hundred people, many of which, according to the police were drunk. One police officer was apparently attacked, and one person was arrested.

What is really remarkable here is that the word “Roma” was not written, only that the incident was under investigation by the office of the plenipotentiary of the government for Roma communities.

Let’s see whether the intervention was warranted.

Another news we do not really need. Romnja fought each other in the centre of Sofia, the Bulgarian capital. The action took place near St. Peter’s Park, around Konstantin Velichkov Blvd. in Sofia.

According to a wtiness, Romnja literally grabbed each other by the hair in a mass melee. However, he was unable to count how many women participated in the fight. “They were like wild animals. Imagine animals in a zoo fighting for prey. The sight was just like that. They just made my eyes water,” he says on Facebook.

According to him, police arrived at the scene in a flash, and some of the brawlers quickly spat on their heels. The police are currently searching for the attackers.
