After yesterday's "film" action of catching a "deed" of Roma wood thieves by the current mayor of Stip Ivan Jordanov, the Roma Democratic Union - RDS briefly condemns this act by the mayor and notes:

"We strongly condemn yesterday's transformation of the mayor of the municipality of Stip Ivan Jordanov into a policeman who intervened in the field against the Roma who illegally but for personal needs brought firewood. Not to be misunderstood RDS, does not defend the events of illegal activities, including petty theft, but we want to remind the transformed "police officer" that bigger illegal activities are happening around, so it would not be bad to notice them too and according to civil duty and to report them.

Your statement would be much better on the spot: “Frequent thefts, tree felling are happening in this part of the city. There is a continuous theft of electricity, water, a huge amount of waste and garbage and it must be stopped "to ask yourself the following:

- Were those people brought to that level of their own free will?

It would be much more productive when you, as a local self-government and at the same time as a state, provide them with as few minimum conditions for a decent life and decent functioning. In translation, that would mean some employment for basic existence and functioning. Basic infrastructure. Finally, the RDS will tell you: "First clean them and put an end to the 'big players' and not to this group of 'big thieves' of 2 cubic meters of wood.

Among the human beings doing their best to reach safety as Russian soldiers assault Ukraine are refugees of Romani origin who are encountering bias and discrimination from volunteers. News server Romea.cz has already reported on the case of two Romani refugee Ukrainian women with four children who were twice asked to leave accommodation facilities in the Czech Republic for no reason, or Czech bus drivers who refused to pick up Romani refugee Ukrainian mothers, originally from the Kyiv area, and bring them to safety, as well as other cases where volunteers do not want to transport Romani refugee Ukrainian families. 

Yesterday The New York Times reported online about the approach being taken toward some Romani refugee Ukrainians in Hungary. At a center offering humanitarian aid in Budapest's Nyugati train station, a family of Romani refugees said the staffers demanded they show their passports before giving them refreshments.
