FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The UK-based human rights group said in a report on Wednesday that not enough is being done to tackle what it called “shocking discrimination”.
The rights group also called on the European Union to address the hardships of the estimated 10 to 12 million Roma living on the continent as “one of Europe’s largest and most disadvantaged minorities.”
The report, which included the latest statistics on life expectancy, unemployment and poverty among Roma communities, further revealed that millions of Roma are still subjected to expulsion, poverty, ill-treatment, and even violence.
A survey in 2008 found that one in five of all Romas in Europe had been subjected to racially-motivated crimes. In 2010, France was condemned for expelling hundreds of Roma.
“Whereas previously only marginal far-right groups would stand on anti-Roma platforms, now more mainstream politicians are playing this card,” Dezideriu Gergely, executive director of the European Roma Rights Centre in Budapest said.
He added that the European Commission has recently encouraged all EU member states to draw up 10-year strategies for the integration of their Roma communities, but that “legislation alone is not enough.”
Europe has been estimated to home some eight million Roma people. Another three million are said to be living in Turkey and Western Balkan nations.
