People without a fixed job and a fixed income who have not completed their education must be prohibited by law from giving birth to children.
These proposals were seriously formulated by the mayor of the Romanian city of Targu Mures, Dan Florea. His postings on Facebook caused a flood of comments and negative reactions.
It was clear that Flora's controversial move was aimed at the Roma minority, which nationalists have said have been a demographic threat for years.
Numerous people protested the move by Mayor Florea last Friday in Targu Mures, following a call by the Roma organization Aresel Platform. They demanded the resignation of Florea, whose proposals they described as racist and militant.
Co-founder and president of the League of Civil Rights Organization Pro Europe, Samaranda Enache, who took part in a protest against the mayor last Friday, described Florea's statements as "aggressive" and "a violation of human rights guaranteed in Romania's constitution".
It also recalled his attempt to name a street in Targu Mures in 2004 after Hitler's military-fascist dictator and ally John Antonescu. The Antonescus regime is responsible for the killing of over 380,000 Jews and over 11,000 Roma. The renaming of the street was halted after protests and legal proceedings.
