Romanies protest against lower subsistence level
Several Romany organizations have protested against the government's
decision to lower the subsistence level, thereby lowering social
benefits for the unemployed. The bill, prepared by the Labour and
Social Affairs Ministry wants to motivate people to actively seek a job
instead of relying on social benefits. It would also lower the amount
of financial support given to people with large families allegedly to
prevent parents from living off their children. Romany representatives
have slammed the proposal calling it racist and discriminatory and
arguing that many of them cannot find work no matter how hard they try.
