In the centre of Pilsen, Czechia, after the AraFest 2025 Roma culture festival, which took place on Republic Square in the very centre of the city, police had to intervene because of a fight between tow Romani families.
Shame.
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.
According to this article two Roma families fought with knives in Varshets, Bulgaria resulting in several people severely wounded. It started as a brawl between a few Roma from two families.
In a Roma settlement in Velykyi Berezne, in Transcarpathian Ukraine, right on the Slovak border, a confrontation between Ukrainian border guards and local Roma escalated. Background is not clear, but Roma threw stones at the border guards, and they fired live rounds. There are wounded, apparently on bth sides, although between stones and rifles, this can’t really be equitable.
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.

A massive brawl involving roughly 60 people occurred in Krompachy, Slovakia last weekend. A dozen people were hospitalised, as they fought with sticks, shovels, and baseball bats.
Bad.
A fight between two Roma families in the village Mikrevo, Strumyani municipality, required the intervention of the police of Sandanski. Apparently, neighbours drank all day in the yard of one of the houses yesterday and after a decent amount of alcohol got into a fight.
This is bad, as such brawls regularly make it in the press in Bulgaria.
4,000 people came to an illegal rave party near Rennes in northwestern France on Saturday. But their loud music in the abandoned hall by the highway bothered the Roma community, which had a camp right next door. The night skirmish between the two groups ended with 14 injured, local firefighters reported on Sunday.
