Daniela Abraham: The antigypsyist violence of my childhood is still happening in Central Europe

When I was 10 years old, living in my home country of Slovakia, I was shot in the left side of my chest by a racist neighbour who on the previous day had shouted at me: "I'm gonna shoot you, you dirty Gypsy!" The racist neighbour shot me with a bb gun while I was walking home from school with my little brother.

 

I remember the pain all too well and still have scars from this event decades later. For months after this attack I was to afraid to leave the house.

A few days ago, when I saw, through social media, the images of Tünde Budai, a Roma woman from Torokszentmiklos in Hungary, who had been violently attacked and grievously injured by a racist man, I felt I had to contact her. She told me her story and I made a video news report with her from my "home studio".

Germany: for each child as a one-time assistance in the amount of 300 euros!

After the adoption of the conjuncture package where Germany needs to get out of the worst recession since World War II, Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters:

 

"We are making every effort to work together to overcome this extremely difficult situation." I think that these days we have laid the foundation stone for that. "The Minister of Finance and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz added:" We want to get out of this crisis as soon as possible, "Deutsche Welle writes.

 

With this new conjuncture package, the German government, as it states, wants to increase economic activities where by reducing the economic activities in the previous months due to the corona crisis.

 

This is the main difference from the previous measures (several hundred billion euros) where Angela Merkel's cabinet wanted at all costs to prevent the unemployment rate, ie to cover the damage caused to German citizens and companies by the pandemic restrictions. .

Tyson Fury: I'm white, so I've been a victim of racism

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says that despite being white, he has often been the target of racism in Britain because of his Roma background.

Fury, nicknamed Gypsy King, is part of the Irish Travellers ethnic group, which lives in the United Kingdom and is often called Gypsys.

 

Speaking on British television, he spoke of racism following protests in the United States and around the world over racial inequality, and said that you could be a victim of racism, regardless of skin color.

 

"I am a white man, but in 2020 I suffer from racism because I am a traveler and I have such an ethnic background. Even now, you enter a pub, bar, or restaurant, and the door says, "We reserve the right not to let trailers, gypsies, go." It's not just black people who suffer from racism. And nobody says anything, that's acceptable racism here. That's what it is, "said Fury.

 

The 31-year-old boxer claims that he and his wife Paris were not allowed to enter a restaurant in Britain in 2016 because of their ethnicity.

 

"It's scary because you can't judge a person by group. Seeing such a sign at the restaurant was really disappointing. I am a heavyweight champion representing this country, and I can't go to a restaurant. "Anyone can be a racist, whether they are white, black or brown."

Will Iraq’s new Prime Minister recognize Roma rights?

In early May 2020, Mustafa al-Kadhimi was appointed as Iraq’s new Prime Minister against the context of ongoing protests and popular discontent resulting from widespread government corruption. This corruption has contributed massively towards increasing poverty, reduction in public services and rising unemployment.

 

The effects of the sectarian conflict in Iraq have been widely reported on, but the media has remained largely silent on the dire situation of the Iraqi Roma. This lack of attention by the media is reflective of the neglect of the Roma of Iraq by the government, humanitarian and human rights organizations and largely speaking, civic society in general.

 

The complete lack of information produced by the Iraqi government on the Iraqi Roma is symptomatic of the de facto policies of ostracization and othering which have persisted since the formation of the Iraqi state in the 1920s. The number of Roma residents in Iraq, including the Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI), is unknown, but best estimates place the figure at nearly 200,000 – translating to roughly 0.5% of the Iraqi population.

 

Discrimination against the Roma of Iraq has taken on an institutional nature for decades. Because the government of the 1950s omitted the Roma from its 1957 census, which now forms the backbone of citizenship criteria through tracing of parental lineage, the Iraqi Roma have remained devoid of citizenship-based national identification documents to this day. This is despite the fact that they have been present in what is now Iraq for centuries.
