DOES THE HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT HAVE A CLEAR GOAL ON THE INTEGRATION OF ROMA?

"I was shocked to hear in the debate this week on the situation in Hungary that some of my colleagues used the situation of Roma in a manipulative way stating that Roma live in fear in Hungary and that they blame the Fidesz government for that. As the only Roma Member of the European Parliament I firmly reject such false allegations and I would like to remind everyone that the current Hungarian government has taken more steps for the equal opportunities of Roma than most governments in the past 20 years." - Lívia Járóka MEP.

Does the Hungarian Government have a clear goal on the integration of Roma?

Yes, because... Hungary, Black Shirts and Orban

 

Miss Jaroka has to defend Orban and his politics, as she is a member of Orban´s Party and represents it in the EP. How Hungary treats the Roma you can see during the weekly marches of the Neofascist Black Shirts - Hungarian Guards thru Roma Neighbourhoods. We have to differentiate between what Mr. Orban says in Bruxelles and what he says in front of his followers. Mr. Orban´s aim is to keep power and change the law so that he and his party will stay for a very long time. No country with democracy deficits can be good for minorities. The members of the Hungarian guards turned discrimination into an agenda. And the police is just looking at all the hate crimes that Police, led by Mr Orban, his so called christian democrat party and his ally Jobbik, a clear racist and antisemitic party tolerate and even encourage. Equal opportunities for Roma? Whoever has been in a village where mostly Roma live, knows exactly what these equal opportunities look like: Segregation, unemployment, persecution.
