Organizers change the name of regular benefit for Ukraine in Czech city and apologize for having named it after controversial figure

The discotheque to benefit Ukraine that has been held at the Aréna club in Plzeň, Czech Republic under the controversial name "Bandera Party" has changed its name. That original name referenced the leader of Ukrainian nationalists from the WWII era, Stepan Bandera, and sparked agitation on social media.

The Czech Police began to investigate the matter and Mayor of Plzeň Roman Zarzycký (ANO) also objected to the name of the event. Now a post has appeared on Facebook apologizing and informing people that the name has been changed to Ukrainian Party, signed by the organizers of the event, who are not individually named.

“We apologize to everybody who has been hurt by the original name. We were not aware that the person of S. Bandera evokes such strong emotions for some in Czech society. We perceive him as a fighter for an independent and democratic Ukraine against the Stalinist Soviet dictatorship and as a prisoner who was arrested by the Gestapo. However, we cannot ignore his shadow side and the shocking deeds of some of his followers,” the post reads.

"GYPSY" by Jelena Karleusha

The meaning of the word GYPSIES - To be a peasant, to be a fool, to play a fool - https://vukajlija.com/ciganisati-se

According to the ROMOVE it organization, they received a satisfactory response from this Serbian singer regarding their response to Jelena Karleuša's story where she used the word "GYPSY".

In mid-January 2023, we responded to Jelena Karleusha's story where she used the word "GYPSY" which has a pejorative meaning.

We didn't want to make the post public to avoid the media, but we wrote her and her team a letter of goodwill, the text of which you can read in the photos in the post.

Today, March 7, on the story of the official profile of Jelena Karleuša, although we were not mentioned, we believe that we received answers to our letter. We also got the reaction exactly as we expected.

Dear Jelena Karleusha

We welcome your public admission that you have repeatedly made mistakes about the Roma by using bad terminology and making unsavory jokes, as well as the fact that you point out the need to make society aware of the more subtle forms of racism, above all, the need to stop using words that have a pejorative meaning . You mentioned that activists are needed to fight discrimination and racism. Our group is one of hundreds of activist groups working to improve the position and image of Roma men and women in Serbia. So there we are, but we need allies - people like you, with influence, and we offer you the opportunity to put your words into action together.

We believe that your statement is very important because you are someone who has great power and influence on public opinion and you want to speak on behalf of the Roma.

We also join your call to other public figures, especially those of Roma origin, to contribute to the fight against any form of racism, which is a major problem in our society.

The German pavilion of the Second World War Staro Saimishte camp, where Jews, Serbs and Roma were imprisoned, is being demolished.

The Zajdeno party announced that the "illegal demolition" of the German pavilion, one of the preserved structures of Belgrade's Second World War camp for Jews, Roma and Serbs, "Staro Sajmište," has begun and demanded that the authorities stop work immediately.

He reminded that the Old Fair Memorial Complex is the most important place to remember our people and other peoples who died there during the Second World War and called on all competent authorities to include the Old Sava Bridge as an important element of the history of the liberation of Belgrade in within the complex.

Zajdeno stated that "the demolition is carried out without identification of the contractor and a board with information about the construction site" and that the workers were informed that it was being done by order of the Directorate for Building Land and Construction in Belgrade and demanded the resignation of the director of the City Office for the Protection of the city monuments, Olivera Vuckovic.

He believes that the building of the German pavilion, as well as the rest of the camp near the Fair, must be placed under the protection of the Office for the Protection of Monuments of the City of Belgrade.

He also stated that "the Jewish community in Serbia has officially requested this from the Institute", but, as he said, the Belgrade Institute for the Protection of Monuments has been silent so far.
