Opinion poll suggests most Czechs agree with Mr Cunek's views on Romanies
An opinion poll commissioned by Czech TV suggests that most Czechs
agree with Deputy Prime Minister Jiri Cunek's recently expressed views
on Romanies. Asked by a newspaper whether other people should receive
state subsidies like Romanies, Mr Cunek said non-Roma would need to get
a suntan - an allusion to the colour of Romanies' skin - cause chaos in
their families and light fires on town squares before politicians would
regard them as badly off. In the poll conducted by the STEM agency, 64
percent of respondents agreed with Mr Cunek and 58 percent said he
should not have to leave his post in government.
