Roma to be placed in “camps” in Hungary

It’s 2017 and the Hungarian government is legitimately taking about putting us in “camps”. I never want to hear another gadjekane fuck tell me that our people don’t suffer in Europe and all over the world.

“An initiative supported by the Far-Right Nazi Hungarian Party continues to mount in favor of putting Roma (also known [under the ethnic slur] G*psies) into highly-controlled camps by force, and some, for life.“

A few key notes from the article: 

• The Hungarian Nazi Party – known as The Jobbik Party – has a strong resentment towards the Romani minority and wants to “relieve their communities of “anti-social” Roma behavior.”
• Anti Romani sentiment exists even within the walls of the Hungarian parliament; since June 2016 the Nazi party has won it’s first three seats in the European Parliament and secured the third place in the general elections (with 17% of the votes.)
• The vice chairman of the Nazi party who is also the European Parliament representative claims these camps are “public order protection camps” – stating that “At these camps, [Romani would be given a chance to “learn”] and return to civilized society. Those who abandon crime, make sure their children attend school and participate in public work programs, they can reintegrate. No doubt there will be people who show no improvement. They can spend the rest of their lives in these camps.“
• The chairman of the Nazi party defends their idea of the camp by saying that “segregation is the best tool to teach [Roma] how to coexist”, calling the camps “public order protection camps” and claiming that he does not believe that there would be a problem with locking the Roma into camps because the Nazi party would “execute these plans in accordance with all laws”
• These camps plan on taking Roma children away from their families and sending them to “boarding schools” 
• Other rules for these camps would include established “laws” such as, having to request the permission to leave the camp and a curfew.

As the European Roma Rights Centre has stated, The problems and issues Roma in Europe have to face have not improved since no [Eastern] European government has truly put in a strong enough initiative to support them and put an end to the anti-Romani discrimination. 

Many of the problems the Nazi party is speaking of – the “anti-social” behavior, the low employment rate, the high petty crime rate and the low numbers of Roma children in schools – wouldn’t even be problems in the first place if Roma were simply being viewed as human and treated fairly. 

Roma are not given the right to no discrimination in the fields of education, instead they get condemned to low quality education in “all Roma schools” or are being falsely diagnosed with mental disabilities and placed in facilities for mentally handicapped. – As a result they get trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty with slim chances (or no chances at all) to get a job. 

Don’t even claim “Roma can do small jobs that don’t require any training then!!!” because that isn’t an option either, since anti-Roma attitudes are rooted so deeply nobody even wants to hire Romani to do “insignificant” jobs that do not require any qualifications. Many have to literally dig through trash and look for metal and copper rests to sell for a little money, however that does not cover the costs of feeding their family so many have to resort to petty crimes. 

Do you see how all these problems are connected now? Do you see how none of these problems would even exist if Roma were granted basic human rights? Fuck Europe. 

When the United States, who purports to be “the most free country on the planet” stoops to doing the horrible things our government is doing now, it emboldens racists all over the world to follow suit.  This is horrible, racist bullshit.  

Tell me this isn’t true!  Unreal in this day and age.  World shouldn’t tolerate this. UN needs to sanction any nation who persecutes any group of people based on ethnic group/religion/culture/sexuality/gender and prosecute those who commit crimes of actual discrimination, like making people live in camps or be unable to live in decent, non poverty-level conditions.
