Czech town Most approves construction of "container" housing on estate mostly inhabited by Romani people

On 12 December the local assembly in Most, Czech Republic approved the budget to build "container" housing for families and individuals living at the Chanov housing estate. The decision means that in addition to the city hall becoming an active builder of a ghetto there, it has also demonstrated it is a wasteful manager of the local budget.

According to experts, the choice of "container" housing was the worst available option, one that will negatively impact the lives not just of the residents of Chanov, but the lives of all inhabitants of Most. However, the city does still have an opportunity to take advantage of a much better method for addressing the situation at the housing estate.

Instead of building "container" housing, city hall could be awarded a subsidy by the Regional Development Ministry to repair the estate's prefabricated apartment buildings, specifically, buildings 6 through 10. Of course, that ministry will not provide a subsidy to build "container" housing, so the local assembly members have instead made the arbitrary decision to waste the municipal budget on that construction without taking state aid.

Austria: Austrian hotel owners drop 'Nazi grandpa' court case against guest

Man had submitted critical online review after visiting Ferienhof Gerlos hotel
The owners of an Austrian four-star hotel who took one of their visitors to court over his online review criticising the portrait of a “Nazi grandpa” in its lobby have dropped the case because the guest managed to unearth evidence showing their relative had in fact been a member of the Nazi party.

The German guest, named in court documents as Thomas K, had posted critical reviews on Booking.com and TripAdvisor about a week after his visit to the Ferienhof Gerlos hotel in the Tyrolean Alps in August 2018.

The hotel’s owners, who say they had not been aware of their relatives’ party membership, will likely have to pay their former guests’ legal costs of about €10,000 (£8,350).

Audit: About 134,000 working people were receiving cash welfare

Of the total number of social welfare beneficiaries in Serbia, from 2016 to 2018 there were 268,000, 50% of whom were able-bodied.

This was announced by representatives of the SAI at the presentation of the audit on material support as a measure to reduce poverty.

As the audit shows, the existing system fails to achieve its objectives, and due to the ineffective cooperation of the competent authorities, it misses the opportunity for labor-able social welfare beneficiaries to exit the social protection system.
 
In the period from 2016 to 2018, only four out of 140 centers for social work were published.

Life in the mud, dumps in the dump - "Hanging house" in the 21st century

Mud to the knees, through a yard dug where the sewer leads directly to a nearby stream, a goat tied to a tree, children chasing mud through the mud, waiting in line for the Polish WC is a picture of the Roma settlement of Bojnik in the south of Serbia.

The picture is like someone playing a time capsule or directly in one of Emir Kusturica's films! It's all in the 21st century. It was only in 2011 that they saw the first light bulb because they had no electricity before.

From the local wild landfill you hear a child's cry. They do not have a playground so they play in the dump.

It is just one of the 5 Roma settlements in Bojnik that have similar problems, and the municipality of Bojnik has 15% Roma or about 1650 Roma according to the 2011 census.
