The mayor of Stara Zagora, Zhivko Todorov, has demolished the last 20 illegal houses in the Roma neighborhood of Lozenets, claiming they cannot be legalized as they are built on state forest land.
The local government has faced criticism for not addressing illegal constructions in other areas, particularly those owned by influential individuals, highlighting a perceived bias in enforcement.
The article discusses the ongoing marginalization of the Roma community, the lack of effective integration policies, and the need for a more humane approach to their housing issues.
