Slovenia: Protests

September 18, 2024 Published by: Roma Foundation

A protest will be held in the Slovene town of Škocjan on Thursday. The reason for the protest is the inaction of the current government regarding Roma crime.

According to th paper, the Roma “problem” in south-eastern Slovenia has reached its lowest point in the period of independent Slovenia, say representatives of civil initiatives. Despite numerous appeals from the desperate population, the authorities, which can adopt solutions and measures, do not respond. That is why the protest will take place.

Roma families protests in front of the Ribnič municipality began more than fifteen years ago, and their demands have always been the same, namely that the local authority should solve their housing problems.

The Union of Roma of Slovenia is now trying to calm the strained relations between the local authorities and the local Roma. Their representatives visited two Roma settlements in Ribnica yesterday and advised the local residents not to intensify their protest. They suggested that they first establish a dialogue with the mayor, with whom they had already agreed on a joint meeting.

This is what the demonstration looked like, where about five dozen Roma gathered in front of the Brno courthouse on Sunday afternoon.
